The house in the middle of the picture is a classic Stick style building, with the bay windows squared off. These date from the 1880s, give or take a decade. To the left is a Queen Anne home, with gables and a turret just visible; these were popular in the 1890s. Like other homes in Pacific Heights, these Victorians survived the 1906 fire; the fire burned as far west as Van Ness and in some places to Franklin Street, one block farther west. These homes are a few blocks west of that.

The home in the middle of this pic is a typical Mediterranean style, probably constructed in the 1920s or 1930s. This pic is taken on the lower slopes of Russian Hill, where the fire burned most structures in 1906 (but not at the top of the hill; see the next post).
