All that remains of the original Francisco Terrace Apartments designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (demolished 1974) is this archway.
Realtor John Baird, Attorney and historian Devereux Bowly, and Architect Ben Weese salvaged the terra-cotta arch, cornice & decorative panels. Adapting Wrights's plan, Weese created a courtyard complex of seventeen town houses, and reused the salvaged parts.
