Artist's Description
San Francisco's development happened to coincide with the commercial application of steam, jig saws, and mass production. Much of the Bay Area Victorian architecture came from available pattern books. You could mix and mach ornament and color ad infinitum. Also, lumber was plentiful on the west coast. And, if you were lucky, wooden buildings could be a little more forgiving during an earthquake. As long as the gas was turned off. Those buildings, that survived the 1906 earthquake and fire often remained out of kilter. I know because I stayed in one. If you dropped coins they'd keep rolling and you'd never find them again. Many of these Victorians, used bay windows and turrets to catch extra light. Most of these were built before electric lighting. Often they employed stained glass windows in order to create beauty and atmosphere.
About Ira Shander
Hello, and thank-you for taking time to visit my web site. As a long time illustrator specializing in pen and ink, photography developed as a means for me to become expressive in color. My specialty as a line artist has always been history and architecture. I've created series for major companies, publishers, and cultural institutions throughout the United States. Take time to visit some of my galleries. I welcome commissions such as house portraits and hobby related subject matter. Again, take a peek at the galleries to get a better idea. I hope that you enjoy both means of expression and visit often. Thanks, Ira Shander

If you look carefully there are two front doors. This house was either designed as a multi dwelling or converted later.
