Lincoln Manor is one of the eight master-planned residence parks in the western neighborhoods of San Francisco, with the others including Sea Cliff, St. Francis Wood, West Clay Park, Forest Hill, Balboa Terrace, Ingleside Terraces, and Jordan Park. Lincoln Manor is located within the Richmond District, in the Northwest portion of San Francisco. Lincoln Manor is bounded by 36th Avenue to the East, 38th Avenue to the West, Clement Street to the North, Geary Boulevard to the South, and is bisected by Shore View Avenue.〔http://propertiessanfrancisco.com/Neighborhoods/district1.htm〕 Its single-family generally large detached homes were developed between approximately 1914-1916 by Lyon & Hoag as a so-called "restricted residence park," with many built by the S.A. Born Building Company. Lincoln Manor was promoted by its developers as a residence park with ocean views facing south instead of west. The enclave abuts Land's End, Lincoln Park, and the Legion of Honor, and is close to Sea Cliff, the Balboa Street shopping district, and the Katherine Delmar Burke School. As a San Francisco Chronicle article described in 2004, Lincoln Manor's "detached, stucco and wood-sided, two-story Edwardian villas with small front lawns, mix classical friezes with Arts and Crafts exposed roof rafters." One of the model homes was designed by architect Ida McCain, who designed hundreds of homes in San Francisco in the 1910s, which made her one of the most prolific female architects from the 1910s to the 1930s. McCain went on to design a handful of other homes in Lincoln Manor, including the home of prominent real estate developer Stephen A. Borne, who developed Lincoln Manor and also lived in the neighborhood. Notable former residents of Lincoln Manor include: * George H. Casey (70 Shore View Avenue), a member of the executive Board of the 1934 campaign to elect Republican Frank F. Merriam as Governor, was the general manager of the Pacific Fruit Exchange. * Quentin L. Kopp, retired judge, member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, member of the California State Senate, and namesake of the Interstate 380 connector ("Quentin L. Kopp Freeway"). * Frederick J. Linz and his wife Bernice W. Linz (88 Shore View Avenue) were two of the earliest Lincoln Manor residents when they bought their home in 1916. Fred Linz was a prominent auto dealer in San Francisco. Mrs. Frederick J. Linz (as Bernice was always described in the media) was a pioneer in advocating that women drive and race "motor cars" (even comparing women's efforts to drive cars to the suffrage movement); founded and was president of the California Women's Auto Association; was a frequent car racer; and was a prolific and nationally recognized writer on the topic of "motoring" on the Pacific coast. * King Norman (Norman Rosenberg) and his wife, Doris Rosenberg (corner of Shore View Avenue and 37th Avenue). King hosted his own children's television program in the 1950s and 1960s and ran twenty-one toy stores across Northern California. * Edith Shoemaker (17 Shore View Avenue) was a long time U.S. figure skating judge, during the 1960s and 1970s. * The Philippine consulate, which was located at the corner of Shore Avenue and 37th Avenue. * George Whitsell, guitarist with The Rockets, who appeared on Neil Young's ''Tonight's the Night'' and ''On the Beach'' albums. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lincoln Manor (San Francisco)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
