Many of Russian Hill's streets, including portions of Vallejo and Green Streets, are staircases rather than roads because of the hill's steepness. ## What Russian Hill does to an appliance. Lombard Street's switchback turns were built in 1922 at property owner Carl Henry's suggestion, to reduce the hill's natural 27 percent grade, which was too steep for most vehicles to climb. The 1853 Atkinson House is one of the few homes in the neighborhood to survive the 1906 earthquake; most other Russian Hill residents had to rebuild afterward.
