As a plugged-in reader first reported the day the nine sealed bids for 909 Tennessee were opened and read aloud, the highest bid came in at $1,310,000 from a current property owner in Dogpatch.
And among the items in front of today’s San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting, a resolution approving the sale of the former firehouse.
And will we promptly see the demolition of this building for more banal condos? Probably. It’s a sad day when a great city goes broke and sells off it’s architectural heritage.
If the city wills it so.
No one ever really owns their property in SF.
Anyone know who the bidder was?
It was Moe, He’s a pretty well known dogpatch resident.
I think his full name is Moe Moneythanbrains.
Interesting number; higher than I would have guessed.
I considered bidding on this, but the two years and an additional million in renovations pushed me away.
What a gorgeous facade! I hope whoever bought it will retain the exterior of the building.
I was the winner of the auction and no, there will be no demolishing the structure, I bought the building because I’ve loved it for nearly two decades and want to both preserve and extend it.
It’s an amazing unique property in a neighborhood I’ve lived in (on that block and on that street) I’m already invested in and I love.
Thank you DpgpatchSF. Your dedication is appreciated.
Now that’s the real SF, amirite?

Fantastic!
Any block, anywhere, should be so lucky. I guess Socketsite will update on any changes – is the building commercial space?
Outstanding DpgpatchSF! So happy to hear you plan to keep this architectural gem. Best wishes.
