Gold Dust Lounge
As we first reported a few weeks ago, over the objections of the owners of the building in which the Gold Dust Lounge resides, in February the operators of the 46-year old bar at 247 Powell Street requested landmark status for the establishment in the hopes of thwarting an eviction, and conversion of the space into retail, scheduled for December.
While the Planning Department found the operators’ request without merit and recommended San Francisco’s Historic Preservation Commission reject the application for landmark status, a motion to disapprove landmark initiation for the Gold Dust Lounge failed on a three-to-three tie vote with commissioner Wolfram absent.
On Thursday, San Francisco’s Historic Preservation Commission will revisit and revote on the operators’ versus owners’ request to landmark the Lounge.

  1. I can’t believe this might make it through the HPC despite Planning’s report. What a waste of resources and time.
