SEC. 8. SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
The history of each parcel within the Historic District is documented on survey worksheets (Appendix A to the Bush Street - Cottage Row Historic District Case Report No. 90.288L).
This classification of buildings in the Historic District is delineated in the Case Report No. 90.288L. Each building is designated as follows:
(1) Contributory. This category identifies buildings which date from the Historic District's period of significance and retain their historic integrity. These structures are of the highest
importance in maintaining the character of the Historic District. All buildings identified within this Historic District are Contributory to the Historic District.
(2) Noncontributory. This category identifies buildings or vacant lots which are outside or are not relevant to the Historic District's period of significance or are so significantly altered
that they have lost their historic integrity. Construction of new buildings on a demolished or vacant sites and additions to or major alteration of Noncontributory buildings should be
compatible with the character of the Historic District. Vacant parcels, including the City-owned right-of-way known as Cottage Row (Lot 46) and the City-owned Mini Park (Lot 12), are
both rated Noncontributory.

SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE.
The Dogpatch Historic District possesses a unique place and significance in the areas of architecture, history, and environment worthy of protection as an historic district. Dogpatch is an
approximately nine-block enclave of industrial workers' housing located east of Potrero Hill, in San Francisco's Central Waterfront district. The neighborhood is comprised of almost one-
hundred flats and cottages, as well as several industrial, commercial, and civic buildings, most of which were erected between 1870 and 1930.
The neighborhood is significant under National Register Criterion A (Events/Patterns of History) and Criterion C (Design/Construction). The neighborhood is significant at the local level
under Criterion A (Events/Patterns of History), within the category of Industry, as the oldest and most intact concentration of industrial workers' housing in San Francisco. No other district
of San Francisco or California was industrialized to the degree of Potrero Point during the last quarter of the 19th Century. The shipyards and other maritime-related industries of Potrero
Point required a steady supply of inexpensive immigrant labor in an area that was geographically cut off from the rest of the City. Local developers and landholders, including Santa Fe
Land Improvement Company, responded to this need by constructing rows of inexpensive cottages and selling individual parcels to laborers and their families, allowing the neighborhood to
develop as an informal company town. Dogpatch is also significant at the local level under Criterion A (Events/Patterns of History), within the category of Exploration/Settlement, as the
first housing developed in the Potrero District. Initially developed in the early 1870s, Dogpatch became the nucleus of the Potrero District that would evolve after the 1906 earthquake.
Finally, Dogpatch is significant under Criterion C (Design/Construction), within the category of Architecture, as a moderately intact district of mostly Victorian and Edwardian-era workers'
dwellings constructed between 1870 and 1910. Residences within the district reflect vernacular forms of architectural styles that were prevalent throughout the country, including Greek
