History

The Quinn House is located at 1562 McKinnon Avenue in San Francisco.[5] [6] It was built for Mary Quinn in c. 1870, and the house remained in the Quinn family for 83 years.[7] It is a two-story Italianate-style wooden structure with a prominent bay window. In the 1950s, the Quinn sisters lived on separate floors of the building and didn’t get along; as a result the house was painted separately by floor level.[8] In 1958, the Quinn family sold the house.[9]

In 1965, the house was used as the headquarters of the consumer pilot program, Bay Area Neighborhood Development (BAND) led by Ira Henderson; later known as the Redevelopment Hunters Point site office.[10] [11]

In 2014, the Quinn House sold for over USD $1 million, making it one of the most expensive houses in the Bayview.[12]
