Western Neighborhoods Project board member and architectural historian Richard Brandi will show you how to search city records and other archives to find the builder or architect of your San Francisco house and when it was built.
Richard will demystify the process and show how you can find the information without too much heartache. The seminar is focused on houses built in the western part of SF, but many of the techniques can be applied to homes in any city neighborhood.
Please bring any building records or questions you have about your house. This is a fundraiser for Western Neighborhoods Project.
Admission is just $15 and benefits the Western Neighborhoods Project

Many people these days are finding themselves in extreme financial hardship. Whether it’s a sudden lay off, credit card debt, or a mortgage adjusting to unaffordable heights, money problems are stressful and trying to find the solutions to those problems can be overwhelming.
Supervisor Chu and Congresswoman Jackie Speier have teamed up to help families in financial crisis. “Crisis to Recovery”, an economic resource fair, will be held on Saturday, July 25th at Dianne Feinstein Elementary School. HUD-approved, non-profit credit counselors will be on site to explain your options with mortgage, credit, and debt problems. Representatives from various City Agencies will have information on employment, healthcare and other resources. Learn from speakers about how to seek a mortgage modification, property tax reassessment and avoid foreclosure scams. Counselors will be available in Cantonese, Mandarin and English.
Free registration begins at 9:30 am at Dianne Feinstein Elementary School at 2550 25th Avenue. For more information about “Crisis to Recovery”, call our office 415-554-7460 or email us at chustaff@sfgov.org.

Adam Greenfield recently produced a video with the Neighborhood Empowerment Network covering the first Inner Sunset farmers market back on June 7th.
As expected, the Farmer’s Market was a hit!
As an aside, there are more Farmer’s Markets to come in San Francisco, including one coming to the Outer Sunset as well!
Adam also founded the Inner Sunset Neighborhood Group of Facebook, which he still helps run.
Through the Facebook page, several hundred members have a steady stream of information to keep in touch with the Inner Sunset neighborhood. The group also organizes monthly social gatherings, which have gotten a great response since they began last December.
The community is really taking off now. And if you live in the Inner Sunset, I’m sure you’ll enjoy being a part of it!
