Historic preservation commission adds two long-running San Francisco businesses to Legacy Business Registry
Summary
The San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously Nov. 6 to add Lair’s German Specialties and Geary Print Shop to the city’s Legacy Business Registry after staff presentations describing each business’s history and community role.
The San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously on Nov. 6 to add two long-running neighborhood businesses to the Legacy Business Registry.
Planning staff described the nominations before the vote. Heather Samuels presented Lair’s German Specialties at 1581 Church Street, a specialty store founded in 1974 that the department said preserves German cultural traditions in Noe Valley. Maggie Dawn presented Geary Print Shop, established in 1978 and described as the last full-service print shop on that section of Geary Boulevard. Staff recommended resolutions for both nominations.
Commissioners moved to adopt the staff recommendations and voted 4–0 in favor. No members of the public spoke during the public comment period on these items.
The registry recognizes small businesses with historic or cultural significance and can make them eligible for certain city resources and outreach from preservation staff. The commission’s action will place staff recommendations for the two businesses on the public record and allow the planning department to proceed with any next steps for listing.
