Charles Dietle House, or Dietle House, is a historic building, built in 1878 in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, California.[1] It has been listed as a San Francisco designated landmark since 1972.[2][3] It is a private house and not open to the public.

History

The Charles Dietle House was designed by architect Henry Geilfuss in 1878, for German-born custom boot maker Charles Dietle.[4][5][6] After the 1906 earthquake and fire, the house was in relatively good condition and was sold to John DeMartini, a local fruit and veggie commission merchant and a director of the Bank of Italy (which later became Bank of America).[4][7]

The Charles Dietle House is five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms with a roof deck, and is 6,950 square feet (646 m^2).[8][9] It features period details, including a winding main staircase, ornate fireplace mantles, built-in hutches, a dumbwaiter, and a basement ballroom.[4][8] The building was once used as office space,[2] and has been used as residential since around 2013.
