Lombard & Hyde circa 1869

View east on Lombard Street from Hyde before grading of either street. A man and child pose in the middle of the street, while what may be the rest of the family poses in front of the house on the right. Just above that house, in center distance, is the North Cosmopolitan (later Hancock) Grammar School (opened 1867, William Patton architect) on Filbert between Jones and Taylor. Presentation Convent Roman Catholic school complex in left distance at Powell, Yerba Buena Island beyond. St. Francis of Assisi Church in distance right. Taken in or soon after 1869, when landscaping was completed in Washington Square. Same original as wnp24.378a, with significantly less image on left and more on right. (WMK)[984. Russian Hill, San Francisco, Cal.]
