After a rainy winter in 1942, a major mudslide ripped down the southeastern slope of Mt. Davidson and knocked one house off its foundation and killed Mrs. Dora Krammer. The 700 block of Foerster Street was buried, trapping residents in their homes until they were rescued.
The house knocked from its foundation in the 700 block of Foerster Street, Feb. 6, 1942.

By 1951, the area was stabilized and this church at 234 Teresita Blvd. characterized the new neighborhood.
