The historic farmhouse on Oak Street has moved four times.
The old farmhouse at 1111 Oak St. looks like it was dropped into the city from another world, which isn't too far from the truth.
The cottage is believed to be the oldest house still standing in San Francisco, and it's now available to lease, not as a home, but as a commercial office. While the interior has been remodeled over the years to provide 3,500 square feet of office space, the exterior looks largely the same as it did more than 170 years ago, when it was a distant lakeside homestead beyond the city limits, and long before it sat on one of the busiest streets in San Francisco.
The most romantic origin story for the home tells of a lovelorn lawyer and former colonel in the Mexican-American War, Abner Phelps. Phelps is said to have had the home shipped from New Orleans around Cape Horn to convince his young Louisiana bride, Charlotte Roussell, to move to San Francisco with him.
