Description
of the property
Gardner Dailey’s design of this Telegraph
Hill residence is a fine example of the Bay Region’s
late l930s streamlined Modernism. The elegant yet simple ironwork
at both the Lombard Street and Telegraph Hill Blvd entrances
play against the stark planes of the vertical façade.
The light and airy interiors are made possible by high ceilings,
tall doorways & windows.
The ever changing colors of the bay & sky can be enjoyed
from three exposures. Landmarks such as the Bay & Golden
Gate Bridges, Treasure & Alcatraz Islands, Coit Tower & the
Embarcadero piers are prominent in the cityscape. This is truly
a San Francisco house for the sophisticated buyer.

Biography
of the architect
Gardner
Dailey (1895 – 1967):
Gardner Dailey was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. He
attended the University of California at Berkeley
and Stanford University. He began his career primarily
in landscape architecture with the firm of Donald
McLaren.
Dailey opened his own architectural firm in 1926. He
designed institutional and commercial properties in
the City, bay area, along with several international
exhibitions. His significant projects include the Red
Cross Headquarters in San Francisco (demolished), the
Brazil Building at the Golden Gate International Exposition
in 1939 and the WWII Pacific War Memorial in the Philippines.
Dailey greatly influenced Bay Area modern residential
design. His buildings utilize natural as well as new
materials on spare structural planes where the play
of light and shadow create a simple beauty. His homes
feature high ceilings, tall doorways and expansive
windows to maximize natural light and views. His interior
spaces relate to outdoor living and landscaping as
one. Among his City residences are: |
1928 – 301
Telegraph Hill Blvd (apt house)
1937 – 285 Telegraph Hill Blvd
1938 – 65 Montclair Terrace
1939 – 44 Normandie Terrace
1941 – 2674 Broadway
1942 – 351 Filbert Street
1942 – 275 Telegraph Hill Blvd
1949 – 2690 Broadway (demolished)
1951 – 1 Raycliff Terrace (demolished) |
