The two-story house, located at located at 1556 Revere Avenue, San Francisco, was built between 1865 and 1870, by local carpenter Stephen L. Piper. It was designed in the Italianate style, with a symmetrical, flat front façade and features a full width front porch. The Sylvester House was originally located on Quesada Avenue (then called Sumatra Street), and it was moved in 1913 to its present location on Revere Avenue. When this home was built, the surrounding area was rural land, and it was considered part of South San Francisco. The home was built for Maria (née) Donnelly and Daniel Sylvester (a native of Hesse, Germany), and the Sylvester family's eight children. It was occupied from 1884 to 1900 by their children, Daniel and John Sylvester, who were wholesale meat butchers and cattle dealers in what was then known as Butchertown (now Bayview–Hunters Point).
