Hyde & Francisco Sep 25, 1913

View west across the Francisco Street Reservoir from Hyde Street. The wall in the center subdivided the original 1859 reservoir into a primary storage basin on the right and an overflow area on the left. [Francisco Street Reservoir] [dpwbook6 dpw1627] The capacity of the primary basin was increased in 1919 by raising the walls.
