Shipwright's Cottage, Historic house in India Basin, San Francisco, US
The Shipwright's Cottage at 900 Innes Avenue exhibits architectural elements of Carpenter Gothic and Italianate styles, with fir wood construction and waterfront positioning.
Built in 1875, the residence served shipwrights who constructed scow schooners until 1926, including John Johnson Dirks who built vessels like Master Mariner and Wavelet.
The cottage represents San Francisco's maritime legacy through its connection to wooden boat building and the development of waterfront transportation systems.
The structure will function as a visitor center within an 8-acre park scheduled for completion in 2025, following a 25 million dollar restoration grant.
The property contains one of San Francisco's last remaining natural Bay shorelines and maintains its original position from the nineteenth-century shipbuilding era.
