DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO c. 1905, looking from Nob Hill southeastward. The Call Building dominates the skyline. The wide boulevard behind it, extending to the Bay is Third Street where at its end you now can find AT & T park, the home of the Giants.

If you've been to San Francisco, you've been here.


This historic photograph was taken from the corner of Post and Powell Streets looking south east. The iconic Call Building, located at Market and Thirds Streets is in the background.
