Rare Walking Tour of SF’s Storybook Homes | Outer Sunset

Submitted by the Event Organizer

San Francisco Planning invites you on a rare walking tour of the Rousseaus’ Boulevard Tract, a group of whimsically-styled “Storybook” homes located in the Outer Sunset.

Originally constructed in the early 1930s when this neighborhood was nothing more than rolling sand dunes, on this walk you will learn what makes this tract of houses so unique as you hunt for elements of Storybook architecture among the fog.

The architecture of this district is whimsical and detailed; both in terms of ornament and façade forms. Taken as a whole, these tract houses represent a unique Bay Area version of Storybook Style architecture.

The district is special in that it includes not only Tudor Revival homes, from which Storybook Style is commonly derived, but also Storybook versions of French Revival ; Mediterranean Revival; as well as Spanish Colonial Revival and its Churrigueresque and Monterey Revival subtypes
