(a) The description, location, and boundary of the Landmark site consists of the City
parcel located at 2 Henry Adams Street (the Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden Building),
Assessor's Block No. 3910, Lot No. 001, in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood.
(b) The characteristics of the Landmark that justify its designation are described and
shown in the Landmark Designation Report and other supporting materials contained in
Planning Department Case Docket No. 2018-014691 DES. In brief, the Dunham, Carrigan &
Hayden Building is eligible for local designation as it is associated with events that have made
a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history, and for its design and
construction that embodies distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of
1 O
construction. Specifically, 2 Henry Adams Street is significant for its long-term association with
the Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden Company, a business that was important to San Francisco
history for decades and that contributed directly, through its products, to the Gold Rush, the
post 1906 reconstruction of the City and to its growth as a metropolis of the Pacific Coast. It is
also significant because of its association with the City's post-earthquake reconstruction
period architecture. The heavy timber frame, masonry building was designed by architect Leo
J. Delvin in 1915 in the early-twentieth century American Commercial style.
(c) The particular features that shall be preserved, or replaced in-kind as determined
necessary, are those generally shown in photographs and described in the Landmark
Designation Report, which can be found in Planning Department Docket No. 2018-
014691 DES, and which are incorporated in this designation by reference as though fully set
forth. Specifically, the following exterior features shall be preserved or replaced in kind:
Overall form, structure, height, massing, materials, and architectural ornamentation of
the building identified as:
(1) Generally rectangular plan and form;
(2) Four story height;
