The house and its neighbor were constructed in the 1890s for a local businessman to give to his daughters. Over the years it was the home of the Radical Psychology movement (the "radical" part being that maybe women could become therapists or get therapy without their husband or father's permission). We've also been told that later it was also a the location of an Experimental Music Collective formed by staff from Amoeba music. In around 2010 the house was entirely renovated from the studs up and became the first LEED platinum private home in San Francisco. Amongst other features it has 25 solar panels on the roof and the walls are filled with shredded blue jeans as an insulator. After a brief stint as The San Francisco Dream Home as part of the annual YBCA raffle it became an artists' residency called The Growlery. Both the current owners went to shows there and it's why there's graffiti on the rubbish bins, paint splashes on the floors and a collaborative mural outside the kitchen. The stained glass window in the front parlor is original to the house and was completely restored in 2020 by Nzilani Glass in Oakland. It changes color during the day from light pink to a dark blue. Please note that this salon is NOT wheelchair accessible.
