It’s been more than two years since an intriguing San Francisco house built in the Stick style was posted on Old House Dreams. Though in deteriorated condition, the house retained many beautiful and historic features (typical of quality houses built in the 1870’s and 1880’s in the area) such as ornate plasterwork and a walnut stair balustrade. Many who commented on the post feared that the integrity of the house would be compromised (if not completely destroyed) in the future.
Fascinated by it, I saved the house on Zillow so that I could learn of its ultimate fate. Today I finally found out. The following “before” photos from the 2022 listing are paired with “after” photos from the current listing in 2024. These images all originated on Zillow and are presented here without captions or comments:
