Stadtmuller House - National Register of Historic Places

Statement of Significance

The Stadtmuller House is an outstanding example of late 19th century Italianate residential architecture. Designed by architect P. R. Schmidt, this building was constructed in 1880 as a residence for Frederick D. Stadtmuller, who came to San Francisco in 1879 from Silver City, Nevada, where he had owned a chain of mercantile stores (Stadtmuller & Co.), as well as a timber concern. After his arrival here, Mr. Stadtmuller became associated with the firm of Walter, Schilling Co.., dealers in California wines and brandies. Claus Schilling, spice maker A. Schilling’s brother, was one of Mr. Stadtmuller's partners in the wine firm. The house stayed in the Stadtmuller family and continued to be used as a single-family dwelling until 1951 when it was sold and subsequently became a rooming house. In 1963, the residence was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Peter R. Loebs for reconversion to a single-family dwelling. The building is presently used for law offices.
