Eureka Valley escaped destruction in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fire , mostly because the fires were stopped at Dolores Street . After the 1906 earthquake , thousands of earthquake refugees began purchasing lots and erecting cottages and flats in the area . The momentum continued after the completion of Twin Peaks Tunnel in 1918 and the Municipal Railway 's J Church streetcar line in 1917
