Architecture in the Sunset and Parkside districts of San Francisco

Out and About
Just a couple things I saw today. A really bright house:
I don't know if you can see, but the shingles are kind of orange.
I hadn't seen this imprint before. It's on Irving at 11th.
Speaking of contractors, be on the lookout for "EJB". A reader's grandfather was a contractor, and she is lucky enough to still have the imprint iron. I haven't seen that particular mark yet.
I live in the Sunset, grew up in the Sunset, and have lived all but three years of my life in the Sunset and Parkside.
I love the homes out here, inside and out. The way the pastel colors look in the fog, how every home in a seemingly identical row has its own little quirks.
I walk around the neighborhood a lot and found I was asking myself things like "is that the only house with that medallion?" or "I wonder when that addition was built?" or "What were they thinking?". So I started taking photos to keep a record of the little details now in abundance that one day may be gone.
