The Queen Anne John McMullen House, San Francisco, CA, erected in 1881, was rehabilitated in 1983-1984 by Arnold Lerner, Architects. It became a care residence for the mentally disabled. The McMullen House received an award from the California Preservation Foundation for the quality of its restoration efforts and its retrofitting to improve accessibility in 1985.It won another award from the California Preservation Foundation in 1999 for Restoration and Craftsmanship following a fire in the group home. Plath and Company assisted in the 1990s restoration of the building; according to the firm's web site: "In the 1990s, the home was severely damaged by fire, which destroyed the top floor and caused extensive damage to the lower formal areas of the home. Decorative plaster ceilings collapsed, parquet hardwood floors buckled, elaborate wallpaper was stained, and oak and mahogany wood doors and paneling were warped and coming apart."
