Baker BeachToday Rachele and I walked through the Presidio and then walked up Broderick St. in Pacific Heights. One very steep section of Broderick is closed off to vehicles, but pedestrians are able to make their way up it, if they're able. It was so steep we practically needed to crawl up it on our hands and knees.
We passed by two landmarks on Washington Street. The Firehouse, Engine Company #23, located at 3022 Washington St., was built in 1893. It was one of three that were designed by Henriksen and Mahoney, and was used as a firehouse until 1963. The building was then purchased by famous interior decorator, John Dickenson, and converted into a design studio and residence. (SF Landmark #93)
The Koshland House (3800 Washington St.) was built for Marcus Koshlands in 1902, and patterned after the south face of the Petit Trianon at Versailles by architect Frank S. Van Trees. The building features a three story high central atrium which allows light into most of the interior rooms. The basement of this mansion is an elaborate French-styled mirrored ballroom that can accommodate sit-down dinners for more than 100 guests. (SF Landmark #95)
