The show-off. 🌷Spring doing its thing! 🌸Red sweater.🧣Old Saint Hilary’s Church opened in 1888. It sits on Miwok land that was granted to John Reed in 1834, before the gold rush and before California was a state. Reed married Hilaria Sanchez. Their daughter Hilarita (with a “t”) managed a dairy on the property. Hilarita’s family deeded a small portion of their land to the Archdiocese of San Francisco to build the carpenter gothic chapel. The church was deconsecrated in 1954 (parishoners having moved on to a larger church), and Saint Hilary’s was placed on the National Register of Historic Places the next year.Midday light 2. 🌳Pontiac Parisienne. 🇫🇷This sweet row of houses, in SF’s Liberty-Hill Historic District, was originally built as “workingman’s cottages”. The district is one of the densest and oldest intact neighborhoods in San Francisco. (Some say it was SF’s first “residential suburb”.) 70% of the houses there are Victorian. Many are flat-front Italianates, like these, on this marvelous tree-shaded street.Neighbors’ hydrangeas.I ❤️ when the bushes match the house details! 🌳🌹🌳Buy the Book
