Franklin Street buildings

Franklin Street buildings Review

A Georgian-style residence built in the early 1900s for a coffee merchant sits at 1735 Franklin. On the northeast corner of Franklin and California streets is a Christian Science church; built in the Tuscan revival style, it's noteworthy for its terra-cotta detailing.

What at first looks like a stone facade on the Golden Gate Church is actually redwood painted white. 1901 Franklin St., 94109.

The Coleman House is an impressive twin-turret Queen Anne mansion that was built for a gold-rush mining and lumber baron. Don't miss the large, brilliant-purple stained-glass window on the house's north side. 1701 Franklin St., 94109.
