Introducing Our Old House

This is our old house built in 1885 in Hayes Valley, San Francisco. According to our research of the city's water department records (most other city records were destroyed during the fires that proceeded the 1906 earthquake) the house's first owner was Martin E. Green, a long-shore-man (a dock worker who loads/unloads ships); he bought the property for $3,000! We bought the house this on August 19th, 2005. We had an excellent real estate broker, Bonnie Spindler, who specializes in Victorian Houses. We were very lucky as we found this property in just over a month, although we must have seeen more than 50 properties all over the city.

As a property developer I am seriously impressed in the house & what you've done as some of the problems are similar to what you find in old houses in London [except for the earthquake
