I often say that a Victorian or Edwardian person would feel completely at home and be able to navigate easily in the NOPA, Cole Valley, or the Haight because these areas weren't destroyed during the 1906 earthquake and fire. Huge numbers of refugees left Nob Hill and the old sections of the city for the western addition, where all the houses still stood untouched post-quake. 560 Lyon St was built in the midst of this western expansion, in the height of the Queen Anne stylistic period. Wooden shipbuilding was giving way to iron ships, so the hundreds of carpenters who had been shipbuilders were at a loss until they started decorating San Francisco's Victorians. 560 Lyon and 1575 Fulton look largely as they did in 1894 when they were built. It was common for merchants to have a store on street level and live above in a residential unit. The water records indicate that the original configuration consisted of two stores and two residences. Today, this sale includes a two-story residential unit and an original storefront. The house is large and imposing and is the subject of books, art, and postcards. 560 Lyon has most of its original details: fireplaces, wood floors, beefy wood moldings, tall ceilings, imposing plaster crown moldings, and ceiling medallions.
