Integrity is high. Contributor to the Mission Reconstruction District locally significant area (537 14th St).

Criterion C: San Francisco's largest concentration of residential-over-commercial and small-scale commercial buildings, spanning both pre-1906 and post-disaster construction, dated c. 1870s–1931.
