Found a great blog that sounds right. Thanks Rick Spear!
You can't believe everything you read.
The sign outside the Officers Club in
the Presidio says it is the oldest
building in San Francisco. Yes, there
is old adobe in some walls and in the
foundation. But the bulk of the
building is definitely 20th century.
The oldest building in San Francisco
is Mission San Francisco de Asis, more
commonly known as Mission Dolores. The
original mission was built by the
Spanish in 1776, along with the
Presidio. The current building is
about a block and a half from the site
of the first mission building and
dates back to 1791. Aside from the
addition of electricity and some early
19th century furnishing, the mission
looks little different from the way it
did when founded. This sturdy building
survived both the 1906 and 1989
earthquakes with little damage;
although, the more modern parish
church next door suffered extensive
damage in 1906 and was torn down.
