Mediterranean Revival is a design style introduced in the United States in the waning nineteenth century variously incorporating references from Spanish Renaissance, Spanish Colonial, Beaux-Arts, Italian Renaissance, and Venetian Gothic architecture.
Peaking in popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, the movement drew heavily on the style of palaces and seaside villas and applied them to the rapidly expanding coastal resorts of California and Florida.
Structures are typically based on a rectangular floor plan, and feature massive, symmetrical primary façades. Stuccoed walls, red tiled roofs, windows in the shape of arches or circles, one or two stories, wood or wrought iron balconies with window grilles, and articulated door surrounds are characteristic. Keystones were occasionally employed. Ornamentation may be simple or dramatic. Lush gardens often appear.

Ingleside Terraces, San Francisco
(a development built on the former location of the Ingleside Racetrack in the southwestern part of San Francisco. The racetrack functioned 1895-1905; It did not reopen after the 1906 quake and the racetrack and buildings served as emergency housing. In 1910, Joseph A. Leonard’s Urban Realty Development Company bought the track and set about turning the land into a residence park. By 1912, Ingleside Terraces had opened, with Urbano Drive paved on the loop of the old racetrack.)

"The staircase's three landings are massive marble panels with face-matched grain that were cut from one block. The risers and treads also are matched panel of marble and granite. The wrought iron railing was made on site and illustrates wildlife from the river. The Limpkins and Herons in the balustrade are true to life in outline and size." I hope to get back to this Florida architectural landmark and 2,888 acre park and river on the National Register of Historic Places sometime in the future.

The World's Longest known Marble Bar at 70 feet three inches, is in the gift shop. The marble is 'face matched' ...eight pieces that were cut from one block of marble. This process is known as quarter-sawing: a block of marble is cut in half, they are each cut in half again, and each quarter in half...to get eight panels...thereby producing a matching grain pattern."
Last time we were here we had fried green tomatoes in this fancy dining room :>) Did I tell you that then?? (I'm feeling too lazy to go back and see what else I did or didn't tell you before :>(

"most of the homes were built by Hueter Homes and designed by Harold G. Stoner in the 1920s, with Lang Realty Company in charge of promotion and sales" The deed restrictions, conditions, and covenants issued by the Balboa Terrace Homes Association in 1924 directed that "...[property owners] shall not convey, lease or rent the said premises, or any part thereof, to any person or persons other than those of the Caucasian or White race." The legality of such racial covenants was struck down in the late 1940s.
The land was owned by Adolph Sutro until the early 1910s.

The rooms are elaborately decorated but unfurnished. I was wondering if originally there was a painting in the frame over the plaster (?) drapery relied.

Once home of Bruce Porter (23 February 1865, San Francisco – 25 November 1953, San Francisco) an American painter, sculptor, stained-glass designer, writer, muralist, landscape designer and art critic.
Was this house part of the small island of 1906 survivors on Russian Hill or was it moved to this site?
