The San Francisco Planning Department is recommending landmark status for the Noe Valley house where beloved lesbian couple Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin lived throughout most of their 54 years together.
It would be the first LGBTQ historic site in the city located in a solely residential neighborhood and the first focused solely on lesbian history.
At its February 17 meeting the city's Historic Preservation Commission will vote on landmarking the home. Gay District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman authored the resolution unanimously supported by the Board of Supervisors last fall to begin the landmark process for the property at 651 Duncan Street.
