Walking tours of San Francisco
Neoclassical is the label the register puts on more San Francisco buildings than any other, 12 of them. The 1900s account for more of that work than any other decade.
2 themed routes run through those listings. Every route below follows one kind of building. A subject becomes a route only where the register holds enough of it close enough together to walk.

Every route holds at least ten stops and stays under two and a half miles. Routes are computed from the coordinates in the National Park Service National Register spatial data or, where it has no point, Wikidata, and the distances are straight lines between stops. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops. Data refreshed November 02, 2026.
