Plans have surfaced to convert a small residential property at 2401 16th Street<\/a> in San Francisco\u2019s<\/a> Mission District<\/a> neighborhood. The proposal would replace a vacant ground-floor restaurant space in the apartment complex with two additional residential units. Galway Properties II<\/a> is responsible for the project as the owner.<\/p>\n

My My Ly Architect<\/a> is responsible for drafting the renovations. The existing three-story building contains two units above the restaurant space. The proposed conversion would double the building\u2019s unit count. Both new units would contain a living room, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, oddly enough. The upper floors will remain unchanged per the application.<\/p>\n

The existing structure is an old classic revival structure built in 1909 for James Larkin. According to a historical review evaluation drafted by Tim Kelley, \u201cduring prohibition era, Larkin operated a soft drink business, a common disguise for a bar, until 1940.\u201d The review deemed the property eligible for listing in the California Register for its association with the San Francisco Seals baseball team, as the Double Play Tavern, opened in 1944, operated across from the former Seals stadium. The stadium was demolished in 1959.<\/p>\n

The property is located at the corner of 16th Street and Bryant Street, across from the Franklin Park soccer field and a full-block Safeway-anchored Potrero Center shopping mall.<\/p>\n

The estimated cost and timeline for construction have not yet been shared.<\/p>\n
