"Earthquake-scarred bricks put on a show", San Francisco Chronicle (via SF Gate), Saturday, 17 August 2013
Some period homes are memorable more for richness than restraint. This overloaded treat stakes out a triangular lot just down from Buena Vista Park and fills it with every atmospheric layer you can imagine, from steep tile roofs and rough stone windowsills to an abundance of plants and urns and whatnot. Best of all? The walls are studded with so-called clinker bricks, gnarled chunks of masonry from the 1906 earthquake. It's authenticity of the most local sort, transcending architectural style and leaving a mark on the imagination.
