  • Liberty Hill Historic District, davel (guest) wrote 13 years ago:
    “The Liberty-Hill Historic District is an intact representation of nineteenth century middle class housing and developmental practices. It is one of the earliest residential ‘suburbs"’ to be developed in San Francisco, with major development starting in the 1860s and continuing until the turn of the century.” http://www.noehill.com/sf/landmarks/sf_liberty_hill.asp

  • Site of Odd Fellows Cemetery, desu wrote 13 years ago:
    One of the many cemeteries in the city that were closed in the early part of the 20th century. Bodies from this cemetery were exhumed and moved to Greenlawn Memorial Park in Colma. Greenlawn received over 26,000 bodies from this cemetery and also has a mass burial area, where the dead who had no one to pay the $10 body removal fee are buried. The Neptune Society Columbarium, built in 1898, is a remnant of the old Odd Fellows Cemetery.
  • 200 Dolores Street, sftrajan wrote 13 years ago:
    The vacant lot was Ebenezer lutheran Church until 1953 (the Lutherans moved to Market/ Portola and are still there as "her church") 1953-1993 it was First Southern Baptist Church (founded 1943 to minister to Southerners moving to the bay area for war work), renamed Dolores Street Baptist Church in 1974. If I recall correctly, the lower floor was in use as a shelter when it burned. The baptists moved to Noe Valley. http://www.baptistchurchsf.org/ourhistory.html

  • U. S. Post Office, LeeMost wrote 13 years ago:
    This post office is open late, which is very useful when you missed the pickup at your mailbox and absolutely have to have something postmarked today.
  • Building Resources, LeeMost wrote 13 years ago:
    Amazing place to get used stuff from old buildings and renovation projects. Everthing from little drawer pull handles to windows & doors to cabinets to slabs of stone to the kitchen sink. Actually they have a whole section devoted to kitchen, laundry, and bathroom sinks! I love browsing through the barrels of tumbled colored glass for crafts projects (I think it's supposed to be used for landscaping.)
  • Holly Park, LeeMost wrote 13 years ago:
    San Francisco's only round park!
  • Muni Kirkland Division, LeeMost wrote 13 years ago:
    Muni's oldest diesel coach maintenance and operations facility opened in 1950 when the area was surrounded by factories, fish processing plants, and warehouses. Now surrounded by zillion-dollar hotels, condos, and Fisherman's Wharf tourist attractions, the cash-strapped public transportation agency wishes it could somehow take advantage of the high real estate value.
  • San Francisco Muni Flynn Division, LeeMost wrote 13 years ago:
    Formerly a US Steel warehouse, in 1988-9 the huge building was converted into Muni's third Diesel coach maintenance and operations facility. The roughly triangular SE corner area has non-Muni commercial property including a theater, restaurant and 1 or 2 other businesses.
