History
The Quinn House is located at 1562 McKinnon Avenue in San Francisco. It was built for Mary Quinn in c. 1870, and the house remained in the Quinn family for 83 years. It is a two-story Italianate-style wooden structure with a prominent bay window. In the 1950s, the Quinn sisters lived on separate floors of the building and didn’t get along; as a result the house was painted separately by floor level. In 1958, the Quinn family sold the house.

In 1965, the house was used as the headquarters of the consumer pilot program, Bay Area Neighborhood Development (BAND) led by Ira Henderson; later known as the Redevelopment Hunters Point site office.

In 2014, the Quinn House sold for over USD $1 million, making it one of the most expensive houses in the Bayview.
