The San Francisco Water Department records show that this building was connected to the water system in 1876. Mr. F. Vollerni was the original owner and Mr. J. J. Volmer the second, who resided a few doors down Turk Street; there were three owners until the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency purchased the property in 1967, and all of the owners were absentee landlords. The house stood at 773 Turk Street and was moved to Block 677, Lot 2, on Webster Street.
