Henry Geilfuss was a German architect who studied in his native country before moving to San Francisco in 1876. He designed several buildings in the city which still stand today. A growing list of his work is below:
1. 2016 Vallejo St built for Carl Leichter in 1889. Today the house has been subdivided into four apartments and almost all the ornamentation has been removed.
2. 1198 Fulton St built for William Westerfeld in 1889.
3. 294 Page St (at Laguna) for Charles Dietle in 1885. In 1906, after the Earthquake and Fire, Mr Dietle sold it to John DeMartini for a bag of gold that Mr DeMartini had salvaged from his destroyed business. Today the building houses private law offices.
