Own a piece of history

This building of three splendid flats was built sometime after the 1906 earthquake by the Paris-educated architect James Francis Dunn. It is among the dozen most famous residences in Pacific Heights and has been mentioned in almost every book on the history of San Francisco architecture published since 1968.

Here Today: San Francisco’s Architectural Heritage:
“An unusually charming example of the fanciful Mannerist- Baroque, verging on Art Nouveau in wood and plaster, is 2413- 2417 Franklin Street, between Green and Vallejo Streets. The building, which houses three flats, was erected in 1902 [actually sometime between 1906 and 1916]. Numerous exterior ornamental details and intricate ironwork, especially the balconies and their traceried grillwork, express an animated turn-of-thecentury which proved quite influential in San Francisco. Particularly the unusual French doors and curvilinear overwindow are echoed throughout the city.” [page 22.]

Architecture: San Francisco: The Guide:
“One of the most elegant of Dunn’s essays in this imported Belle Epoque style.” [page 71]

Victorious Victorians: A Guide to the Major Architectural Styles:
“This Italianate has French Revival embellishments: lacework balconies and elaborate windows. The rusticated wood wall resembles masonry. The sculptural embellishments together with the dentils behind it function as a balcony corbel.” [page 30]

San Francisco. Building the Dream City:
“Designed by James Francis Dunn, [these] flats... the utmost in refined French style, with beautifully formed windows, Louis XV cartouches, delicate filigree balcony railings, and two strong male figures holding up the cornice.” [page 261]

The facade of the building was fully restored beginning in January 1987 over a period of more than a year, and repainted in 2007.
