SAN FRANCISCO OLD AND NEW (#3 in a series)


Brownie’s Hardware, at the southwest corner of Sacramento and Polk,


Brownies, 1563 Polk Street

currently has a photo taken before 1906 displaying the original Brownie’s Hardware & Toys when it was located on the opposite corner.




What I like about this photograph is this detail:




Over 100 years later, the Shirley Hotel (without the backwards ‘S’) is still located at 1544 Polk Street,




now offering affordable, low-cost housing in a two-tiered city.
