All in a day’s work

Page & Turnbull architectural historian Jonathon Rusch was captured at India Basin doing what he does best—that is, evaluating a historic vernacular landscape—by Landscape Architecture Magazine. Page & Turnbull has been preparing a series of documents for a team of organizations who own or manage land located around India Basin in San Francisco in preparation of the site’s future as a park, with an integrated residential and commercial community.

India Basin

The 38-acre site contains the Shipwright’s Cottage, a locally designated San Francisco landmark, in addition to numerous buildings and cultural landscape features associated with the community of wood boat builders who occupied this remote area of the city beginning in the 1870s.
