	anything labeled "primary source" or "I was there" or "Historical Essay" is usually protected, meaning you can't edit it unless I (as administrator) go in and unprotect it. So I can do do that with the page in question, and you can make the changes, or I can make them directly. In general, if you find errors on such pages, you'll have to send me a note and then I can unprotect them, or make the changes myself... either way is fine with me, but let me know your preference... and thanks!		anything labeled "primary source" or "I was there" or "Historical Essay" is usually protected, meaning you can't edit it unless I (as administrator) go in and unprotect it.

	TURN LEFT (NORTH) ONTO SHRADER -- The "Victorian" which modern San Franciscans cherish was not always revered. On the left (west side of Shrader) there are three "tract houses" mid-block. The two houses at 413 and 415 Shrader are pretty much as they were when built in 1890. But the third (at 411 Shrader) was radically altered in the 1930s. Such improvements are common adjustments to the architecture of a neighborhood. Some changes were made for economics (weatherproof siding), others for function (garage). Some of the changes were aesthetic and designed to rid the structure of the ornate millwork of the 19th century and to replace it with the then popular "Mission" and "streamline" styles. The interesting thing about the Shrader row houses is that the modified home probably has more architectural significance than its more stately sisters. It is one of the fifteen houses of San Francisco in which the once omnipresent "roll-a-brick" asbestos siding has been preserved intact.

address change & caption

New page

Hi Chris-
I was skimming the Haight Arch. walking tour and noticed errors related to the text / photos. I was hoping to flag these, but it is not obvious to me how to do so. Perhaps here?

Here are my corrections: The address numbers are reversed, the photo actually shows 415-413-411 Shrader. Also, I think you said the text came from a 1980s tract, which in this case, appears to refer to alterations that no longer exist. The altered building (411 shrader) no longer appears to have roll-a-brick asbestos siding. (Maybe it does, but when I zoomed in, it appears to be replacement vinyl siding). I'd delete the two sentences beginning with "the interesting thing..."

The original text is below. Minor corrections, but more importantly, I'd love to know how to flag errors and/or debatable facts.
Mary
