SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE.
The Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District is significant as it is representative of the post-1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire reconstruction period and is representative of
warehouse/industrial building type and exemplifies early twentieth-century methods of construction and materials. The period of significance is 1906 to 1935. The district is comprised of
nineteen properties, twelve of which include contributing resources, located in the South of Market neighborhood. The non-contributing properties consist of two buildings constructed after
the period of significance and five surface parking lots.
The Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District’s period of significance reflects the nineteenth-century development of the South of Market area as a center of industrial production in San
Francisco and maritime commerce along the west coast. The district’s mix of industrial and warehouse buildings interspersed with residential structures is typical of the land use patterns
developed in the nineteenth century in the South of Market neighborhood and continued during the 1906 earthquake and fire reconstruction period. The buildings exemplify early twentieth-
century methods of construction and materials and reconstruction the return of South of Market’s function as the industrial center of the city following the earthquake and fire.
The addition’s period of significance, 1906-1935, falls within the broader 1867-1935 period of significance of the South End Historic District. The industrial buildings found within the
Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District are unique for their smaller size and massing, reflecting their use as small manufacturing operations and storage and packing facilities, but are
consistent with the character and development pattern of the buildings constructed in the area during the post-earthquake period. The buildings reflect the redevelopment pattern of South of
Market following the quake and fire, which largely consisted of industrial and warehouse buildings.
