The Waybur House | A Legacy Residence
Designed in 1902 by the legendary Ernest Coxhead, The Waybur House at 3232 Pacific Avenue is an architectural masterwork of the Bay Area’s Brown Shingle tradition. Situated on the Presidio wall along the celebrated 3200 block of Pacific Avenue, the home is part of one of San Francisco’s most architecturally significant residential enclaves.
Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and featured in Shingle Style, Bay Area Houses, and Here Today, the residence is widely regarded in architectural literature for its sophisticated “Mannerist” façade. A signature Palladian window anchors the home’s refined street presence, while thoughtful design elements subtly express the interior architecture on the exterior.
Positioned directly along the edge of the Presidio, the home presents formal elegance to the street while cascading dramatically down the hillside at the rear—revealing sweeping views across its expansive natural landscape, where architecture and setting are seamlessly intertwined.
Historical Significance
Built in 1902 for Julian Waybur, whose brother-in-law was noted artist, author, and designer Bruce Porter, the home is closely tied to the Bay Area’s Arts and Crafts movement and a rare circle of early 20th-century creative collaboration.
The residence reflects a lifestyle centered around artistry and expression, and includes a dedicated music room that once served as the setting for Julian Waybur’s piano lessons—featuring paired archways and large sliding doors designed for both private practice and grand-scale entertaining.
Together with neighboring residences by architects such as Bernard Maybeck, Willis Polk, Julia Morgan, and Albert Farr, The Waybur House is part of a remarkable architectural ensemble along the 3200 block of Pacific Avenue—one that continues to define the character and legacy of Presidio Heights.
