Permits Approved To Replace Illegally-Demolished 49 Hopkins Avenue on Twin Peaks, San Francisco
The San Francisco Planning Department has approved plans for a two-unit project at 49 Hopkins Avenue on Twin Peaks, San Francisco. The approval includes the retroactive legalization of the illegal demolition of Largent House, the 1935-built home designed by the prominent modernist architect Richard Neutra. Despite the unanimous vote in 2018 by the Planning Commission to prompt the property owner to rebuild a replica of the house, a legal battle and settlement has allowed the owner to pursue new plans.
