One is a sidewalk permit at a nominal valuation. The record centres on a 1990 kitchen-and-bath remodel and post-1989-earthquake parapet bracing. This building's context statement dates the work 1912; the assessor's roll records the parcel as built 1911. Class-B (non-combustible) construction. The assessor records year built as 1911; the prompting article gives 1912. No sale recorded on the current roll. The residence guide cited below also names a present-day occupant of this house; that claim is left out, because these pages do not name current residents.

Historic status

One published account gives San Francisco Landmark No. 197, designated 9 June 1990. The city's per-parcel historic dataset confirms the Article 10 individual-landmark status and the Category A / A* rating, but carries neither the landmark number nor the designation date, so those two figures remain unverified against the landmark ordinance itself.
