That probably sounds comically young to people from Europe, but SF's neighborhoods are among the oldest west of the Mississippi. I grew up and currently live in south Minneapolis, my parents house was built in 1908, most of the neighbors houses were built from around then to the early 1920s. The place I'm currently in was built in 1914, so seems to be about the same age as the homes your describing in SF.
