The Noe Bell

The Noe Bell is a small, neighborhood-scale landmark that serves as a community monument rather than a public transit stop or historic building. It stands as a localized symbol of the area, reflecting the pride of the residents who call this valley home. Many visitors who come to explore the Victorian architecture and quiet streets of Noe Valley discover this marker as a point of reference for the neighborhood’s identity. It commemorates the legacy of Don Jose de Jesus Noe, the last Mexican mayor of Yerba Buena, who once owned this vast ranch land before it transformed into the residential community you see today.
