Reading now: 205
A Japantown site has become only the second local historic property related to San Francisco's Japanese community and the fifth having to do with the LGBTQ community to be recognized as a city landmark.
It is also the first property tied to the city's Japanese American community to be designated a city, state and national landmark.
The Board of Supervisors voted 11-0 Tuesday, April 13, in support of landmarking the Japanese YWCA/Issei Women's Building at 1830 Sutter Street.
It will need to vote a second time at its April 20 meeting to finalize the city landmark ordinance, which was co-sponsored by Supervisors Dean Preston, who represents Japantown, Aaron Peskin, Connie Chan, and Rafael Mandelman, the board's lone LGBTQ member.
