Location

Taken on the 2100 block of Washington Street, north side; not sure of the exact address. The house has been somewhat altered, and is currently obscured by a tall hedge.

[The house is the Phelan Mansion at 2150 Washington. - Dave]

Detachable top?

Looks like a detachable top with an eisenglass window on each side.

["The California top ... can be stowed or removed quickly and has a permanent roof and glass windows" says this period article. -tterrace]
