Russian Hill-Macondray Lane District, Historical district in Russian Hill, San Francisco, United States.

The Russian Hill–Macondray Lane District is a 1.6-acre historic district of 12 contributing buildings and Macondray Lane itself, a pedestrian lane. Its boundaries run along Green Street (900–982), Jones Street (1918–1960), Macondray Lane (15–84) and Taylor Street (1801–1809). Houses step down the slope, among them dark brown wood-sided buildings with stacked open balconies and a projecting glazed sunroom.

The neighborhood developed in the late 1800s and survived the 1906 earthquake, with its oldest building dating to 1878. This resilience shaped its evolution as a continuously inhabited Italian-American residential area.

Early residents of the district mostly held middle-class jobs, except for three houses on Green Street at the top of the hill. Some worked in the arts, and Italian-Americans from Genoa lived here, including the painter Giuseppe Cadenasso and the poet Ina Coolbrith.

A pedestrian pathway connects the steep streets through multiple entry points from Green Street and Taylor Street. Comfortable shoes are recommended since wooden steps and slopes make up much of the terrain.

Only four houses in the district survived the 1906 earthquake and fire. The oldest is 982 Green Street, built in 1878. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 1988, covering 1.6 acres with 12 contributing buildings and Macondray Lane as a contributing site.
