A Mission quonset hut apparently built during WWII has been slated for demolition and would be replaced by six units of housing plus ground-floor commercial, the SF Examiner is reporting today.

I saw this building when it was most-recently sold and it had been converted into a cool, funky single family home. The sale occurred in 2004 and was likely to the current owners who are looking to develop the site to create more housing.

“Developers plan to replace the corrugated-steel building at 3350 20th Street with six units of housing and retail shops on the first floor. They’ve obtained an exemption from detailed environmental review, although a study was commissioned by the Planning Department that found the hut did not meet federal standards for preservation.”

“But attorneys for the Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition have appealed to the supervisors, countering that the building that most recently housed live-work artists should be evaluated further before it’s removed. The Board of Supervisors will consider the issue today.”
