Lost San Francisco

Lost San Francisco

Looks at how a city used to runâ€”the old transport systems, former city halls, stores, theaters and cinemas, gas stations and car showrooms, restaurants, and people on the sidewalk
Â
Aspects of lost San Francisco that are examined here include the Victorian Alcatraz, Cliff House Hotel before it burned down, the early Embarcadero, the devastation of the 1906 earthquake, horse-drawn streetcars, the grandeur of the Sutro BathsÂ both outside and in, the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition buildings, the changes made to combat a possible Japanese invasion duringÂ World War II,Â and some of the key hippie stores on Haight-Ashbury before the area became more upscale.
