Committee forwards landmark initiation for Fire Station No. 44 to full Board
Summary
Supervisors voted to forward a resolution initiating landmark designation for Fire Station No. 44 (1298 Gerard St.) to the full Board with a positive recommendation after sponsor Supervisor Shimon Walton described the building’s history and community support.
The committee considered a resolution to initiate amendment to the landmark list for Fire Station No. 44 at 1298 Gerard Street under Article 10 of the Planning Code. Supervisor Shimon Walton explained the station’s historical significance — built in 1913, active since 1915 and cited by residents as an important neighborhood landmark in Visitation Valley — and asked the committee for a positive recommendation to the full Board.
After brief public‑comment procedure checks and a short exchange among supervisors confirming cosponsorship, the committee voted 3–0 to send the item to the Board with a positive recommendation.
