Accent on living The wooden city saved by Victoriana
San Francisco Victorian restoration thrives as San Francisco Victoriana preserves wooden city craft. Founders Gary Kray Bill Lambert and Gray Root built a millwork shop and design staff to offer authentic materials, estimates, and complete restoration services. They note rising home values and a viable market for 1855 to 1920 era houses while rejecting salvaged or synthetic substitutes. Catalogs and lectures extend their preservation program.
