San Francisco: 1927
"San Francisco views, 1927." On Pine Street, looking east at the 32-story Russ Building. 4x5 nitrate negative by Arnold Genthe. View full size.
Sam Spade's neighborhood
And just a couple years later, one block over in an alley off of Bush Street, Brigid O'Shaughnessy shot and killed Sam Spade's partner.
21 years before
The same photographer took this picture from a few blocks away.
Twenty-one years
What's really amazing is to realize that just 21 years before this photograph was taken, virtually the entire city of San Francisco was in ruins after the Earthquake/Fire of 1906.
Ye Gods
It's fewer years from this picture to the chase scene in "Bullit" than it is from "Bullit" to now!
Yes, please.
I could use some Bromo Seltzer right about now.
Happy New Year Shorpy! I look forward to many fine photos over the coming year.
Today in SF
Looking down Pine Street via Google street view. An exact angle isn't possible because of the high rise at 555 Pine. In both, however, we can see another historic structure down the street at 215 Market: the 1923 Matson Building.
