Pacific Heights houses step down steep lots, and the laundry often sits in a lower level cut into the hill, where damp from the slope and bay fog keep a front loader's seal and drain filter wet between loads; both are cleaned on each visit, and the long exhaust run up to daylight is checked for lint. ## What Pacific Heights does to a home appliance. Pacific Heights was first built up in the 1870s with small Victorian-style houses, most of which were replaced with the grander period homes -- Victorian, Mission Revival, Edwardian and Chateau style -- that followed the 1906 earthquake. The oldest surviving building in the neighborhood, the Leale House on Pacific Avenue, dates to 1853, decades before the surrounding mansion district took shape. Landmark estates such as the Spreckels Mansion and the Whittier Mansion still stand among the neighborhood's housing stock, built for the wealthy San Franciscans who resettled here after the earthquake. Power in the neighborhood comes from PG&E, whose Public Safety Power Shutoff program can de-energize lines here during dry, windy fire-weather conditions.
