The C. A. Belden House is a historic building in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, California, United States.
Designed by Walter J. Mathews, a prominent Bay Area architect, it is unusual in San Francisco in being purely Queen Anne in style.
[4] The main facade, facing the park, is decorated with carved and plaster areas that have been compared to "patterns appliqued on a Victorian sampler":[5] the pediment under the gable is richly carved, two sunbursts flank a pair of windows on the third floor, and below an arched window porch on the second floor is a panel with a grinning mythological beast.
[6] It was built on the lot at number 2004 in 1889 for Charles A. Belden, treasurer of an importing company, whose family lived there until 1900.
[4] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 11, 1983, at which time its owners were restoring it.
