A Building with Soul and Story
Originally constructed in 1924 as the Blindcraft Building, this historic structure was built for the San Francisco Association for the Blind, providing employment and training opportunities for blind individuals—a progressive initiative for its time. The building's exterior features a striking Gothic-inspired terra cotta entrance on Howard Street. After serving the community for decades, it was converted into 22 live/work loft condominiums between 1996 and 1998, preserving its industrial character while offering modern amenities.
