Russian Hill-Paris Block Architectural District
Historic site · Russian Hill, California
One block of Green Street, roughly 1017-1067, covering 1.5 acres: eleven single and multiple dwellings in eleven architectural styles, every one of them set back behind a front yard. The houses on the north side of the street back onto Macondray Lane. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 7 January 1988, reference number 87002288, and the California Office of Historic Preservation carries it as N1543.
History
The name Paris Block appears in print no earlier than 1964. The nomination suggests it refers to the Bos Apartments at 1050 Green Street, built in 1891 to a design by the Beaux-Arts-trained architect Lewis P. Hobart. The Feusier Octagon House at 1067 Green Street stands inside the boundary.
