Notes
  • Significance: This structure was the home of a California pioneer who arrived in San Francisco from Philadelphia in 1854; and from a clerk in a bank rose to be one of the leading citizens in the State. He was connected with the first telegraph company in California, and the first gas company in San Francisco, of which he was one of the early presidents. He was President of the Kings River Canal, and the American-Russian Commercial Company. At the time of his death, November 21, 18820, he was President of the Board of Trustees of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute, and a Regent of the University of California, since his appointment to the first Board of Regents in 1868. His wife was Julia Theresa Wood, daughter of Captain Wood of the United States Army, who served with distinction in the Mexican War. She was considerably younger than Mr. Moss. They were married in 1867 and combined their names to give the name MOSSWOOD to the estate.
