Architecture 101: Inniss Franciscan House
We’ve been admiring 834 Pacific Street (aka 703 Dean) for some time now, but only recently got close enough to read the plaque on the side of the building. Turns out the 27,000-square-foot building, known as the Inniss Franciscan House, is a transitional housing facility that tries to help homeless people get back on their feet by offering job training and substance abuse programs. Our gut reaction was that this would be categorized as Queen Anne style, but we consulted one of the architecture buffs on the site who weighed in that he thought Victorian Gothic was closer to the mark. Anyone else have an opinion?
