Liberty Street Historic District
historic place
The Liberty Street Historic District in San Francisco, California, is a residential area. It spans two blocks of Liberty Street, within the Dolores Heights neighborhood. This district offers a historical view of middle-class housing in San Francisco between 1867 and 1911. It contains fifty-one residences, featuring architectural styles such as Italianate, Stick, Queen Anne, and Classical Revival. The original residents were primarily middle-class, including foremen, attorneys, and small manufacturers. The land was part of the San Miguel Rancho, patented by José de Jesús Noé in 1845. By 1863, only one structure stood here. The Liberty Street Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 15, 1983, for its architecture. It also became a California Historical Landmark on the same date. This area largely survived the 1906 earthquake and fire. The district matters historically as an intact collection of middle-class residential architecture from a specific period in San Francisco's development.
