Cornelius to "embody every feature of a modern playhouse...equipped for staging the largest road shows, as well as motion picture performances".

The Geneva Carbarn and Powerhouse is two adjoining buildings, one being a Queen Anne style office building built in 1901 and a cast concrete romanesque powerhouse built in 1903. Both were heavily damaged in the earthquake of 1906. The powerhouse was repaired by 1910, but remaining damage was left to be addressed as part of the tax credit project.

The buildings are significant for their respective architectural styles and their historical association of an earlier era of transportation technology.

PRESIDIO THEATER

San Francisco	99 Moraga Avenue	San Francisco	Margaret E. Haas Fund	Performances	7/01/21	23,725 SF	$29,678,468	$46,792,431

The Presidio Theater is significant as a contributor to the oldest U.S. Army base in the west, with military associations dating back to Spanish exploration. The theater itself was built in 1939 as a movie theater. The Army used the theater until the base closed in 1994. It is built of board-formed concrete in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, as were many of the base's buildings constructed in the early 20th century.

The renovation restored the exterior ticket booth and created discrete additions to accommodate live performances. A courtyard public space was created on the east side of the theater to host events.
