House at 1331-1335 Scott Street - National Register of Historic Places
Statement of Significance: The San Francisco Water Department records show this building as being connected to the water system in 1888. Martin O'Dea was the original owner, and this property remained in The O’Dea family until purchase was made by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency in 1972. He was a prominent horseshoer from the East. "Martin O'Dea, his experiences in the Horseshoeing Trade" are an account documented in the Bancroft Library, University of California, recounting his background in Philadelphia and in San Francisco as the fashionable horseshoer of his time. Mr. O'Dea had built this fine residence as a part of a complex from which he ran his business. This Victorian structure as well as the other two structures on the same property survived the 1906 earthquake and fire. This Stick Style house has been well maintained through the years. Because of the zoning within the project area, this building has to be either demolished or moved to a more suitable location where it can be rehabilitated and preserved. This will be one of eight buildings to be moved onto a two-block development within the Western Addition Area 2. These two city blocks will be intensively developed with projects including scattered public housing, moderately priced private housing, private rehabilitation and rehabilitation for public bidding and resale by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. A few rehabilitation projects have already been completed within these two blocks. 216-220 Elm Street will be moved to Block 1100, Lot 6, 7, 8, to be situated next to another moved Victorian structure previously owned by Mr. O’Dea, 743 Tunk Street. These two structures will be adjacent to an already rehabilitated building at Scott Street near Eddy Street.
