Residence of Mr. Robert Sherwood, 1123 California Street, S. F., Artotype No. 11, with &quot;S. F. News Letter,&quot; May 28th, 1887

This monochrome artotype from 1887 depicts a large, three-story Victorian residence with a highly detailed architectural design. The house is characterized by a mansard roof with decorative iron cresting along the top and several gables featuring ornate woodwork. Multiple tall masonry chimneys with decorative caps rise from the roofline. The second story includes several bay windows with dark trim, while the ground floor features a covered porch with arched entryways and a low railing. The building is situated on a paved street, and a dark, ornate wrought-iron fence borders the property along the sidewalk. To the right of the mansion, a vertical grayscale color calibration strip is visible. Faint text printed along the upper margin of the image reads, "Artotype No. 11. BANCROFT LIBRARY" and "With 'S. F. News Letter,' May 28th, 1887".
