Did you know??...
Dogpatch is recognized as San Francisco's most significant surviving district of industrial workers housing.
704 Tennessee was commissioned in 1891 by James Dawson, a millhand at Pacific Rolling Mills as an income-producing property. According to the 1900 Census, Dawson leased 704 Tennessee (formerly known as 702 Tennessee) to Michael and Delia Powers, an Irish immigrant couple. Michael was employed as a foreman at Atlas Iron Works. Between 1900 and 1906, Dawson sold 704 Tennessee to Edward Hanson, another absentee owner. Hanson rented the cottage to various industrial workers. According to the 1920 Census, Hanson leased 704 Tennessee to Mark Breen, an English-born ironworker of Irish descent. He lived at 704 Tennessee with his five children.
The property changed hands several times in the early 1920s before being purchased by Christina Ettlin in 1926. Mrs. Ettlin was a widow of Fritz Ettlin and an absentee landlord. She owned the property until after the Second World War.
704 Tennessee is also significant under Criterion C as an excellent and very well-preserved example of an Eastlake-style cottage in Dogpatch. It received a rating of "1" in the San Francisco Department of City Planning's 1976 Architectural Quality Survey. 704 Tennessee retains a high level of architectural integrity and is a contributor to the locally designated Dogpatch Historic District.
In 2022 TimeOut named Dogpatch the 36th coolest neighborhood... on Earth!
The light fixtures in the hallway are made of Bronze, Rosewood and glass. They were originally in the reception area of the hospital of the 16th Street SPCA.
The stained glass separating the living room and dining area is originally from the St Claire Hotel in San Jose. The hotel was built in 1855 and later torn down in 1955. The prior owners installed the stained glass in the 1960s.
And a fun fact, according to the SF water department, water was first turned on at 704 Tennessee in 1893.

Discover Dogpatch – a neighborhood as vital as it is historic. Settled in the 1800s by the families of industrial workers, Dogpatch survived the 1906 earthquake far more intact than almost any other neighborhood. In 2002, this newly invigorated part of town was officially designated a historic district of the city of San Francisco. Each of the older homes in Central Waterfront is a particular piece of history. A great many former factories and warehouses have been transformed into live/work lofts, exciting restaurants, or tech industry havens.
The proximity of this neighborhood to all types of transportation including the 3rd street Muni Light Rail Line, Cal Train, and Highways 101 and 280 make it uniquely situated for business and residential use. Nearby Mission Bay is new headquarters for the UCSF Research campus. Food lovers who call Dogpatch home are treated to a wide array of innovative local options including Just for You, Piccino, The Ramp, Yield and Mission Rock. And you can just imagine the interesting spaces some of these eateries inhabit. Serpentine is located in a former tin can factory’s boiler room. A near-by Whole Foods Market helps nicely supplement ingredients for those who enjoy cooking at home.
Dogpatch is surrounded as well by some enormously appealing neighborhoods, including Potrero Hill's 18th Street corridor, which features even more trendy cafes, restaurants and bars, including Bloom's Saloon, known for its dramatic views of downtown. Locals love relaxing at Esprit Park, while their dogs romp and socialize. And you’re always just a skip and a jump from downtown, where folks can enjoy the farmers’ market at the Ferry Plaza, and a nice waterfront stroll. Both Dogpatch and Central Waterfront offer a plethora of residential real estate options. 1860 Victorian cottages live side by side with exquisite high-rises featuring penthouse views, private patios and garages. Historic buildings offer expansive windows in live/work environments, full of exposed brick, period details, and loads of character.
