"The Henry Geilfuss House is located in San Francisco, California. Built in 1882, it is an Italianate style, wood- framed, wood- clad, two -story, flat -roofed residence with ancillary buildings. Master architect Henry Geilfuss designed the house for his family and resided there until 1900. The Henry Geilfuss House is situated on a flat, approximately 7,000 square foot lot, facing onto Treat Avenue, located in San Francisco’s Mission District, between 21 st and 22 nd Street s. The property includes the main residence at the front, a raised room over the end of the driveway , a workshop, and a garage. A driveway runs down the north side of the lot and the buildings are arranged in a “U” shape around a rear courtyard . The workshop and garage were added after Henry Geilfuss moved from the property and are noncontributing. The neighborhood remains predominately row houses with the detached Henry Geilfuss House and neighboring former automobile assembly plant as the exceptions. The house features an angled bay window, recessed porch , and marvelous Italianate- style decorative elements . This property is in fair to good condition and has been minimally altered. It has integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association." (visit link)
