Notes
2021-07-28 - It is not presently known what church this was originally. It was last a Church of God called Christian Church Sanctuary of Salvation in 2010. Since then it may have also been a residence. It is presently (at the time of this entry (2021-07-28) a community fitness center called Core40. -Jim Stettner
2021-08-01 - The former street address and name was 3718 Army St. Old San Francisco city directories reveal that this was St. John's German Methodist Episcopal Church. The Hinners was reportedly installed by the Scheonstein firm according Louis Schoenstein’s *Memoirs of a San Francisco Organ Builder*, where both the church and the Hinners are mentioned on page 300.
