St. Paulus Lutheran Church

St. Paulus Lutheran Church was a historic church located at 999 Eddy Street in San Francisco, California. The church was built from 1892 to 1894 and was located next to Jefferson Square Park. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. On October 5, 1980, the church became San Francisco Designated Landmark number 116. The church's designated landmark status was rescinded after the church was destroyed by fire on November 5, 1995.

1. History

The church loaned a 1⁄3 acre (1,300 m2) parcel of the site to The Free Farm, for growing and giving away organic produce. On October 7, 2014, the San Francisco real estate website Socketsite announced the church had put the site up for sale. Construction was underway at the site in April 2019, and Saint Paulus is scheduled to reopen at this original site before the end of 2023.

1. In popular culture

The church is seen in the background of a few shots in the Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo (1958) with James Stewart and Kim Novak.
