An Illustrated Guide of San Francisco Architecture
Which one do you call home?
No two streets of San Francisco look the same, and we love it. Take a trip through the history of the city through the various architectural styles of San Francisco homes with this piece by Christopher Radcool Reynolds and illustrated by Eli Myers:
Italianates used to be all over the city, but most burned down in 1906. There are still a few west of Divisadero and south of 20th Street in the Mission.
You can find Queen Anne houses in Ashbury Heights, Alamo Square, Cow Hollow, and Pacific Heights.
Streamline Moderne houses are scattered around the Sunset, Excelsior, outer Mission, and Noe Valley.
Art Deco houses were mostly used for commercial purposes, but there are still a few in Pacific Heights, the Sunset, the Marina, and Sea Cliff.
See the rest of the architectural styles at the link below and leave a comment if you live in one of these types of houses.
