What is the 1890 Pivot and who is responsible for its changes to residential design? Find out with James Dixon, a practicing SF architect, who will give a seminar on “Victorian and Edwardian Residential Architectural Styles in San Francisco” with a timeline from 1820-1920 that shows the most popular styles, their length of popularity, and how SF history is interwoven with them. The styles are described and explained with photographs of SF homes. “
