Russian Hill-Macondray Lane District
Russian Hill-Macondray Lane District, Historical district in Russian Hill, San Francisco, United States.
The Russian Hill-Macondray Lane District extends two blocks between Leavenworth and Taylor Streets, featuring wooden steps and northern views toward Alcatraz Island.
The district contains fourteen historic buildings, with the oldest structure dating back to 1878 at 982 Green Street, surviving the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
Many Italian-American families from Genoa established their homes in this neighborhood during the early 1900s, working as merchants, physicians, and craftsmen.
Visitors can access the district through a pedestrian footpath that connects the surrounding streets, offering multiple entry points from Green Street and Taylor Street.
The district served as inspiration for Barbary Lane in Armistead Maupin's literary work 'Tales of the City,' connecting real architecture with fictional storytelling.
