Twitter co-founder Evan Williams and his wife were trying to find a nice San Francisco neighborhood for their young family to call home... they found what they were looking for, a 6,300-square-foot lot occupied by an early 1900s home that they now want to demolish to make way for a new house... The planned tear-down has ignited a Page Six controversy, pitting the rights of new tech money against an old community... trying to stop change on one of the city's most idyllic streets. — news.cnet.com

Most interesting. This property appears in the 1973 edition of "Guide to Architecture in San Francisco" (Gebhard, Winter et al, p 92) and in Google Maps http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&q=226+edgewood+ave+san+francisco&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x808587562fc65315:0x4ff9dec6a9ebdb5e,226+Edgewood+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94117&gl=us&sa=X&ei=RA8vUMDfLKS7ygHg3IHQCA&ved=0CAkQ8gEwAA -- click on "Street View" at left.
The "Guide" entry probably describes the unaltered state of the house, as the authors don't mention modifications to Mullgardt's design:
HOUSE 1911; Louis Christian Mullgardt -- 226 Edgewood Ave. "Edgewood Avenue is a lovely brick-paved, tree-lined street [the former is nothing unusual here; the brick paving definitely is] with many interesting houses. The rear elevation of this one has a high battered stucco foundation surmounted by a glass gallery facing the view."
