The two story brick and stone facade with double archways at left is the remains of the Eureka Benevolent Society building (1900) at 436 O'Farrell. The Society was established in 1850 by August Helbing to assist immigrant Jews in San Francisco. It was rebuilt to a similar design in 1910 and that building still stands, with a fortune telling business occupying the first floor in 2019. [Looking Down O'Farrell St. from Jones]
