“Presidio Terrace was originally marketed to white residents only. ‘There is only one spot in San Francisco where only Caucasians are permitted to buy or lease real estate or where they may reside. That place is Presidio Terrace,’ according to a 1906 brochure distributed by the developer.”

“A 1948 Supreme Court case, Shelley v. Kraemer, which banned enforcement of racial covenants in housing, invalidated restrictions of this type nationwide.”

“Many notable San Franciscans have lived in Presidio Terrace over the years, including San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, United States Senator Dianne Feinstein and her husband, financier Richard C. Blum, and novelist and newspaper columnist Merla Zellerbach. None of these individuals live there anymore.”
