Presidio Terrace in [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco] is a street in the northwestern part of the city. Houses were built for wealthy residents after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, next to the newly wooded Presidio. Presidio Terrace originally was marketed to white residents only: "There is only one spot in San Francisco where only Caucasians are permitted to buy or lease real estate or where they may reside. That place is Presidio Terrace." (advertisement), a strategy which later was discontinued with the integration of the city's neighborhoods. Architectural styles in the area include Beaux-Arts, Mission Revival, and Tudor Revival.
