Toler Heights – The Homes

SF Examiner, Oct 13, 1907

The Toler Heights subdivision changed hands so many times before the 1930s that it seems they never really got around to selling the area, despite photos of new homes being built. The following is all I could find.

If anyone recognizes the homes above, let me know.

Lawlor Street

In 1931, Scott Street was renamed Lawlor Street.
