2898 Broadway
The History of the Bliss Estate
This Dutch Colonial Revival house at the northeast corner of Broadway and Baker Street would be equally at home on the east coast of the United States or even in Amsterdam, and yet it fits perfectly overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Well-proportioned, with a distinctive gambrel roof, it was designed by the architectural firm Bliss & Faville for Walter Bliss’ own parents in 1889. The house was the design partnership’s first commission and it served as an excellent marketing piece for their fledgling practice. This “Gold Coast” home with its classical features, and exquisitely detailed white marble trim, gave the firm a well-received start in San Francisco.
