Ord near 18th Oct 14, 1914
View southwest across Ord to construction materials, Mrs. D.W. Frische Grocery, across 18th St. to Eagle Fruit Market prior to the construction of the Twin Peaks Tunnel and extension of Market Street. The spot where this was taken is now underground beneath Market Street, when the tunnel was built and Market Street was extended, a retaining wall was built behind the pictured buildings with Market Street on top of it, cutting off this block of Ord. The building still stands (2026), shorn of its gingerbread detailing. [dpwbook9 dpw2033]
