THE HISTORY

The plaque on this 1881 house at 2151 Sacramento Street boasts that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the timeless Sherlock Holmes series, once occupied the Lafayette Heights residence. Actually, Conan Doyle only visited for a few hours when this was the home of an associate, Dr. Abrams. Sir Doyle visited San Francisco once in his lifetime, in late May and early June of 1923. The author and his wife stayed at the Clift Hotel during Conan Doyle's second and final lecture tour in the U.S. Though Conan Doyle's stay was brief, his character Dr. Watson was married and practiced medicine in the City, according to a Conan Doyle play.
