Original Details

1450 41st Avenue House History For more than half a century after San Francisco had made its name as a major West Coast city, the Outer Sunset District remained a landscape of shifting sand dunes. Development slowly crept westward from the downtown core from the turn of the twentieth century through the 1910s, and a period of economic prosperity following World War I resulted in many houses being built in the 1920s. The Great Depression put a halt to most construction nationwide, but as the country slowly emerged from hard times, San Francisco’s western neighborhoods became an area of opportunity; a place where builders could realize great profit in speculative development and home buyers could find a fresh start in a new neighborhood and an affordable modern home.

The house at 1450 41st Avenue was built by Sol Getz & Sons. The Getz family billed themselves as “real estate owners and dealers” and maintained a main office on Market Street with branch offices in the Inner and Outer Sunset District. The Getzes were in the business of speculative building, as evidenced by numerous real estate transaction notices found in local newspapers and the “cookie cutter” nature of the small tracts they constructed. At 1450 41st Avenue, a number of neighboring houses exhibit similar floor plans and facade organization but demonstrate individuality in their stylistic treatment. This was a key strategy of tract builders; constructing buildings to standard plans, but making them unique through decoration.

In June 1937, upon completion of 1450 41st Avenue, the Sol Getz & Sons transferred title of the house to representatives of A&D Realty, which appears to have assisted the Getzes in selling their developed properties. An ad for the house in the San Francisco Chronicle touted: New Sunset Home. Bring your deposit with you! I know you will want this home. 5 rooms, patio, and skylight. Flooded with sunlight. This home should bring $6,750.

Will take $5,950.

In September 1938, the house was sold to its first occupants, George F. and Emilia McKarley, and their 10-year-old daughter, Barbara. George McKarley had a number of varied occupations over the years, including as a salesman for a dairy, a firefighter for the S.F. Fire Department, and a locomotive engineer for Southern Pacific.

In 1963, the McKarleys sold the house to Pavel (or Paul) N. and Olga N. Zavadsky. The Zavadsy family were Russian and had immigrated from the Eastern Bloc in 1955 with their two adult daughters, Olga and Irina. Paul Zavadsy was a draftsman for Bentley Engineers, and Irina, who lived in the house with her parents, was an office worker for Marsh & McLennan Crosgrove & Co., an insurance agency. Daughter Olga may have also lived at the house, as a marriage license issued to her in 1967, listed the address.

In 1969, the Zavadskys sold the house, advertising its “4 bedrooms, 2 baths, central patio, knotty pine social with wet bar [for] $39,950� in the Chronicle.

It was purchased by Edmund J. Murphy Jr. and his wife, Mary T. Murphy.

Edmund Murphy was born and raised in San Francisco and worked for the San Francisco Department of Public Works. He and Mary were married in 1958 and had five children. The family still owns the property today.
