[email to Judy Vaughn 4/25/2021:] Assessor records show 455/457/459 as built in 1911/1911/1912, and as far as I know their post-1906 records are generally accurate. Spring Valley Water Co. connection records: June 27 1911 457 J. Digerness 255 E of Castro March 15 1913 455 Jorgen Digerness 225 E of Castro Aug 7 1913 D Houle 205 E of Castro [i.e., 459, but not shown explicitly as such] In my experience the name on those records is sometimes the builder, sometimes the owner. Water connection date always postdates the building permit date, as here. In the 1910 census Jorgen Digerness (widower, Norwegan immigrant) lived at 626 28th St. (the steep block above Diamond). The census record lists him as ironworker at 626, but the 1910 city directory lists him as carpenter at 648. Newspapers list him in a couple local real estate transactions, presumably he was the carpenter/builder who built the houses at 455/457 and possibly 459. The first resident record I found for 459 is in the 1914 city directory: McArthur Chas A (Sadie) seaman h, 459 Valley That's merchant seaman Charles McArthur and wife Sadie. Earlier, in the 1910 census, they lived in the block above Castro: United States Census, 1910 California San Francisco San Francisco Assembly District 33 ED 69 [lines 52-55] [531 Valley:] Charles A Mcarthur Male 38 Married White 1872 New York Ireland Ireland Head B 5 16532 [renter; merchant vessel mate] Sadie M Mcarthur Female 32 Married White 1878 California Ireland Ireland Wife B 5 16533 Roy B Mcarthur Male 7 Single White 1903 California New York California Son B 5 16534 Ralph C Mcarthur Male 6 Single White 1904 California New York California Son B 5 16535 They are at 531 Valley in the 1910 city directory, 460 Valley in 1912 and 1913, and 459 Valley in 1914. They remain at 459 in the 1920 census (with both sons, Charles ship captain), 1930 census (with younger son only, Charles house painter), and 1940 (Charles and Sadie only). They were still at 459 when Charles died in 1950, and Sadie remained there through 1953 (with no phone!).
