Funky and fun, San Francisco’s Mission District was named for the original Spanish Mission founded in 1776. The neighborhood has evolved over the years, mainly as a home to the arts, referred to locally as the "New Bohemia." Murals decorate building walls, street music can be enjoyed and the parades and outdoor performances entertain residents and visitors throughout the year. It’s the home of the Roxie Theater, the oldest continuously operating theater in San Francisco. Restaurants, theater, concerts and an ever changing venue for the visual arts offer the possibility of a new destination almost every day of the year.

Albion Hall, now for sale as a private home and a work of beautifully executed contemporary art in its own right, was built as a meeting hall right after the 1906 earthquake that served as home to the San Francisco Socialist Party. It continued to be used as a meeting hall for various organizations until 1966. In the 1970s, it was purchased by Olympic decathlete Tom Waddell who founded Gay Games. Entirely remodeled and seismically retrofitted in 2009, the home now spans over 4,500 square feet and is centered around the grand three-story great room. Built on five levels, this contemporary gem includes four bedrooms and five bathrooms, a large family/media room that opens directly onto the private landscaped rear garden and a wine cellar. In addition, crowning the top of the structure is a 360-degree view landscaped roof deck. For more information.

Albion Hall with its colorful past and now a contemporary home in San Francisco’s Mission District is priced at $6.5 million.
