Lincoln Manor
Lincoln Manor is one of the eight master-planned residence parks in western neighborhoods of San Francisco.[1] It is located within the Richmond District in the Northwest portion of San Francisco bounded by 36th Avenue to the East, 38th Avenue to the West, Clement Street to the North and Geary Boulevard to the South, and is bisected by Shore View Avenue.[2] Its single-family generally large detached homes were developed between approximately 1914-1916 by Lyon & Hoag as a so-called "restricted residence park," with many built by the S.A. Born Building Company.[3] Lincoln Manor was promoted by its developers as a residence park with ocean views facing south instead of west. [4]The enclave abuts Land's End, Lincoln Park, and the Legion of Honor, and is close to Sea Cliff, the Balboa Street shopping district and the Katherine Delmar Burke School.
As a San Francisco Chronicle article described in 2004, Lincoln Manor's "detached, stucco and wood-sided, two-story Edwardian villas with small front lawns, mix classical friezes with Arts and Crafts exposed roof rafters.” One of the model homes was designed by architect Ida McCain, who designed hundreds of homes in San Francisco in the 1910s, which made her one of the most prolific female architects from the 1910s to the 1930s.[5] McCain went on to design a handful of other homes in Lincoln Manor, including the home of prominent real estate developer Stephen A. Borne, who developed Lincoln Manor and also lived in the neighborhood.
Notable former residents of Lincoln Manor include:
- George H. Casey (70 Shore View Avenue), a member of the executive Board of the 1934 campaign to elect Republican Frank F. Merriam as Governor, was the general manager of the Pacific Fruit Exchange.[6]
- Quentin L. Kopp, retired judge, member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, member of the California State Senate, and namesake of the Interstate 380 connector (“Quentin L. Kopp Freeway").
- The Philippine consulate, which was located at the corner of Shore Avenue and 37th Avenue.
