632 26th St
Sold 25 June 1999 for $125,000 and off market ever since. Nothing in any source attributes it to Charles MacGregor: with no MLS listing in the online-record era, there is no architectural-style field to carry the designation the way there is for 604 24th St and 609 29th St. What is documented is the 1939 build year and the shared Nicholl & MacDonald Avenue Civic Center tract — and since the "Mac" there refers to MacDonald Avenue, the tract is not itself evidence. The position is the same as 525 28th St.

House notes
- Never listed on the MLS in the era covered by online records — the June 1999 purchase at $125,000 is the only sale any source can document
- Legal lot 16 of the Nicholl & MacDonald Avenue Civic Center subdivision — the same tract as 609 29th St and 525 28th St, where the "Mac" is MacDonald Avenue, not MacGregor
- Held by a single owner for 21 years, from June 1999 to August 2020
- A deed recorded in September 2020 never reset the tax base — the assessment kept climbing at the flat Prop 13 2% ceiling straight through it, the signature of an exempt transfer rather than a sale
- Still assessed on its 1999 purchase price: $199,858 against automated estimates near $547,000, so the tax bill is under half what 609 29th St pays on a house 40 sq ft smaller
- Solar was permitted in 2016 and a new HVAC system in 2018 — the only substantial recorded work in three decades
- Garage tucked under the house at street level, with concrete steps climbing to the front door beside it
- A mature street tree stands directly in front, screening the upper façade from the street
