Английская Википедия:Forest Hill, San Francisco
Forest Hill is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California. Forest Hill is one of eight master-planned residence parks in San Francisco.[1] Forest Hill is located near the middle of the City of San Francisco, southeast of the Inner Sunset and northeast of West Portal. Boundaries are roughly Seventh Avenue/Laguna Honda Boulevard to the north and east, Taraval Street to the south, and 14th Avenue to the west.
The area south of Dewey Boulevard is known as Laguna Honda or the Forest Hill Extension. The name Laguna Honda means "deep lagoon" in Spanish and presumably refers to the Laguna Honda Reservoir at the intersection of Laguna Honda Boulevard and Clarendon Avenue.[2]
History
The property for Forest Hill was purchased by a private firm, the Newell-Murdoch Company, from the heirs of Adolph Sutro. Development of the neighborhood began in 1912.[3]Шаблон:Rp Like other "residence parks" in San Francisco, Forest Hill was intended as a racially exclusive, white-only enclave for economic elites.[3]Шаблон:Rp Advertisements emphasized the deed restrictions that disallowed apartment buildings and other multi-family homes and ownership by racial minorities.[3]Шаблон:Rp[4] Deed restrictions were in place in Forest Hills until at least the 1930s, and the residence parks remained racially homogenous for much of the 20th century.[5][3]Шаблон:Rp
The streets in Forest Hill were originally built for horse and carriage, making them unusually wide. These streets in Forest Hill did not conform to San Francisco's standards regarding width and grade, and therefore were not initially approved nor maintained by the City until 1978.[6] Landscape architect Mark Daniels developed the master plan for Forest Hill.[7] Several homes and the neighborhood clubhouse were designed by California Arts and Crafts Movement architect Bernard Maybeck.[8] Harold G. Stoner also contributed to the architecture of the area, designing several houses as part of projects for Lang Realty.[9][10]
