House History
The house at 3641 Clement Street faces Lincoln Park and the fairways of the Lincoln Park Golf Course beyond. The land initially served as a potter's field – a cemetery for the poor – but in 1901 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors banned all burials in the city. The potter's field was shut down and remains were removed to Colma by 1909. The land was subsequently put to use, in part, as the Fort Miley military reservation and also as a public park that included a free public golf course. In 1915, Lincoln Park was given its name when it was designated as the western terminus of the Lincoln Highway. In 1923, it became the site of the Legion of Honor Museum.
The military and recreational uses of Lincoln Park prompted rapid residential development of the adjacent neighborhood. Streetcar lines, as well as the growing popularity of the private automobile, allowed easy commuting between the urban downtown and the quiet residential Outer Richmond. The desirable location, local amenities, and easy access prompted developers to build prolifically in the area during the early twentieth century. One of those developers was Lyon & Hoag, which platted Lincoln Manor, a master-planned “residence park” bounded by 36 th Avenue, Geary Boulevard, 38 th Avenue, and Clement Street, with curvilinear Shore View Avenue bisecting the neighborhood from east to west. Starting in 1914, Lyon & Hoag planned and developed the neighborhood with the large, single-family, detached houses that are common in Lincoln Manor. Most were two stories, stucco-clad, and exhibited the Edwardian style of architecture, with front lawns that were unusual in the city. The builder was the S.A. Born Building Company and a number of the more elaborate houses were designed by architect Ida McCain, one of the Bay Area’s most prolific female architects of the early twentieth century. Builder Stephen A. Born, himself, bought and lived in one of the houses on 38 th Avenue. The house at 3641 Clement Street was built in early 1918; relatively late in the development of Lincoln Manor and situated along its outer edge. There is no indication that Ida McCain designed the house, but building records show that the S.A. Born Building Company constructed it at a cost of $6,000 for its first owners, Joseph H.S. and Georgina E. Frank. Joseph was born in California in 1886 and was the manager of Topken Company, an importer-exporter of chemicals, dyes, and oils. Only a few years later, he was a partner in his own import-export business, Berge Frank & Keller, Inc. His wife, Georgina, was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1888 and had immigrated to the United States with her family as a child.
The next owner-occupants were Walter G. and Isabelle Tubby and their son Oliver G. Tubby. From 1905 to1908, Walter worked as a construction superintendent on the Panama Canal and was later employed as the manager of the marine department of the Union Oil Company. He was retired by the time he lived at 3641 Clement Street. Isabelle Tubby died in 1925, followed by Walter in 1926. Oliver, who was a civil engineer for The Foundation Company, married Catherine Stacy in 1926. By 1962, William and Kikue Kiyasu owned and lived in the house. William was born in San Francisco. He attended Lowell High School, U.C. Berkeley, Grinnell College, and Harvard Medical School earning his MD. He practiced pediatrics until 2002 and held number of teaching, mentoring and leadership roles in the field at UCSF, Children’s Hospital (CPMC) and Shriner’s Hospital. William’s wife Kikue raised 4 children and enjoyed local museums, Golden Gate Park and her love of music taking piano classes at nearby Community Music Center.
The house is designed in the Edwardian style, which was popular in the 1910s and 20s; representing an aesthetic less elaborate than the earlier Victorian styles, but still rooted in traditional Classicism at a time when more progressive Craftsman aesthetics were also popular. An iconic San Francisco bay window is the centerpiece of the house's stuccoed facade, rising the full two-story height of the house. It is fenestrated with original wood sashes, including a large picture window, and double-hung and multi-lite casement configurations. The upper bay window features scroll-bracketed flower boxes and the facade is crowned by a Classical cornice with a waterleaf molding. The front entrance is tucked along the east side of the house and approached by a walkway and steps bordering one side of the front lawn. No driveway breaks the margin between the sidewalk and house. Instead, garages are located off the alley at the rear of the lot, conveniently concealing this utilitarian feature and giving the front of the house a more formal presentation to Clement Street and Lincoln Park, opposite.

The Franks moved away by 1922.
