San Francisco Briscoe: 1919
San Francisco circa 1919. "Briscoe auto at Lands End." Latest entry in the Shorpy Dossier of Dead-Ends. 5x7 glass negative by Christopher Helin. View full size.
China Beach
Kozel got it right; that's the Mile Rocks Lighthouse visible through the windshield.
The Briscoe couple were parked just above China Beach in San Francisco's ritzy Sea Cliff neighborhood. Courtesy of Google Earth, we see that the site is now a parking lot for a public bathing beach. The curbing has changed a bit, and there are more trees than 1919-ish, but the view remains as spectacular as ever.
Touring Frisco in a Briscoe
She was a buttoned up type of woman, but she had this car with matching hub cap/crank hole cover /radiator cap......
That cylindrical object seen thru the windshield
looks like it may be Mile Rocks Light, which opened in 1906.
Very progressive
The "little woman" is driving. Today - driving, tomorrow - the vote! That's a beautiful view and a beautiful picture.
