“Make no small plans for they have not the power to stir men’s minds.”
Willis Polk may easily have uttered those words when referencing his design of 3450 Washington Street, location of the 2010 San Francisco Decorator Showcase.
Reflecting Polk’s signature Georgian Revival design, the 8,369 single-family home was built in 1929. It features seven bedrooms, nine baths, and has a lot size of just 0.22 acres.
The 2010 Decorator Showcase runs from May 1 through May 31, 2010. Proceeds benefit the Financial Aid Program of San Francisco University High School
Participating designers as of Feb 26th include Gregg De Meza, Charles De Lisle, David Kensington, Shelby and Jorge de Quesada, and Suzanne Tucker.
