National Register #73000444
Vollmer House
1735-1737 Webster Street Between Sutter and Bush
Lower Pacific Heights
Built 1885

Architects Samuel and Joseph Cather Newsom designed the flamboyant Eastlake residence at 1735-1737 Webster Street.

The house, originally located at 773 Turk Street, barely escaped the 1906 fire, which was contained at Van Ness Avenue, one block to the east.

In 1974, the Vollmer House again escaped destruction, this time deliberate destruction by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. With the aid of San Francisco Architectural Heritage, the house was moved to its current Webster Street location for preservation as a private residence.

I realize that it's unconscionable to disparage trees, and in progressive San Francisco, it's almost illegal. However, as San Francisco encourages more and more street trees, our architectural heritage becomes less and less visible.
