About
The area is roughly bound by 900–982 Green Street, 1918–1960 Jones Street, 15–84 Macondray Land, and 1801–1809 Taylor Street, in San Francisco, California. The listing included 12 contributing buildings and one contributing site, Macondray Lane.[2][3] Only four of the houses in this historic district had survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.[3] The oldest surviving house in the district is 982 Green Street, built in 1878.[4]
Most of the early residents had middle class careers, with the exception of three homes on Green Street at the top of the hill.[4] The district had residents working in the arts, as well as Italian-Americans, some of which originated from Genoa.[3][4] Notable former residents of this neighborhood include Giuseppe Cadenasso, Ina Coolbrith, Charles Caldwell Dobie, Anita Whitney, A. G. McAdie, Charles S. Ross, Curtis Redfern, Charles Bovone, Edward Rowland, Batista DeVincenzi, Edward Huber Jr., Eleanor Ross, and W. H. B. Fowler.[3]
