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

Contributor to the Inner Mission Commercial Corridor locally significant area (537 14th). Formerly called the 16th Street Commercial Corridor. 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.
