1806 Vallejo Street, San Francisco
Built in 1894
The "Society and Gossip" pages October 26, 1903 issue of "The Argonaut" newspaper noted that "Mrs. George Toy, Miss Toy, and Mrs. Harvey Marshall Toy will be 'at home' on the first and second Fridays in November, at their residence, 1806 Vallejo Street."
The City and County Federation of Women's Clubs yearbook (for 1918 - 1920) placed Mrs. R.L. Lillienthal at this address and identified her as the Second Vice-President of the Needlework Guild of America, San Francisco Branch.
Bailey Millard's "History of the San Francisco Bay Region" (1924) notes that Mrs. George Whitney (Carrie) Van Vorst "still maintains her home in San Francisco, at 1806 Vallejo Street, and with her remains her younger daughter, Lillian." This was thirty years after husband George's death.
The bibliographic "Institute for Advanced Study: Publications of Members, 1930 - 1954" lists Norman S. Buchanan at the address in 1945/46. The directory cites Buchanan as the author (with Friedrich A. Lutz) of "Rebuilding the World Economy: America's Role in Foreign Trade and Investment," 1947.
The 1953 edition of "Polk's San Francisco City Directory" listed Emily Lowell (widow of William) at this address.
At the San Francisco City Planning Commission meeting on December 3, 1970, Mrs. William E. Lowell of this address opposed the application for
Burr House (at 1772 Vallejo Street, a half-block from her home) to be converted to commercial offices. (An interesting idea since the city designated the mansion city landmark No. 31 on May 3, 1970; Ghirardelli Square is No. 32 on the list.) Today the mansion is a six-bedroom, five-bath private residence; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Mrs. Lowell was on the winning side.
The 2007 publication "Golden Gate Park stables renovation project: draft environmental impact report" says that Gene & Angela Weber at 1806 Vallejo Street were mailed or delivered the EIR. The Spring 2009 issue of Cornell University's Phi Sigma Cappa newsletter mentioned Mr. Weber's visits with other alumni and provided the Vallejo Street address so others could contact him if they wished.
