central sunset
The Sunset was largely sand dunes on the outskirts of San Francisco thru the first quarter of the 20th century. The development of streetcar tunnels, and a branding effort by former city assessor Aurelius E. Buckingham, then paved the way for neighborhood formation. Often clad in stucco and resembling Mediterranean, Storybook, or Art Deco styles, many of the neatly organized row houses were built in the 1930s and 1940s by Henry Doelger using assembly-line method.

While entire blocks of homes may appear remarkably similar, the neighborhood’s diversity is reflected in the variety of dining opportunities found within commercial pockets along Irving, Judah and Noriega streets: a hof brau, noodle house, Irish pub and Vietnamese restaurant may all be found in close proximity.
