We’re proud to share that the historic building housing Safe & Sound at 1757 Waller St. has officially been designated a San Francisco landmark.

Originally built in 1895 as one of San Francisco’s early firehouses, this building has long been part of the city’s history. For decades, it served as a fire station protecting surrounding neighborhoods. Since 1987, it has been home to Safe & Sound—where we work to prevent child abuse, reduce trauma, and strengthen families.
The landmark designation recognizes both the building’s historic significance and its continued role in serving the community. Today, the same space that once supported first responders now supports children and families in crisis, carrying forward a legacy of care, safety, and protection.
We are honored to continue our work in a place so deeply rooted in San Francisco’s history—and grateful that it will be preserved for generations to come.
