1854 Map of Horner’s Addition – City of San Francisco – photographic print 26″ x 18″ imaged on a 28″ x 25″ sheet from 8″ x 10″ film negative. My father owned this original map and had it photographed. One of a kind print. We have many items handed down 5 generations through my San Francisco family. My mother had her M. Stoney Antiques store on Taraval Street in San Francisco, in the mid 70’s. Some of those items passed down to us. My father’s family traveled to Asia and Europe in the 1930’s thru 50’s and brought back many treasures we have inherited. Jewelry and art from Italy. Metalware, jewelry and ceramics from Siam, Burma and China. They also collected California Art, and art prints worldwide. They also traveled a lot in the Western US and East Coast, Mexico and Central America. I rely upon my history of my family objects, family activity history, and independent research to determine provenance and value. Please let me know if you have any questions and i will do my best to answer them. We are glad to answer your questions. We are not experts and try to make clear any aspects that we are not sure about. Thanks for taking a look!

A whimsical pictorial view of the Potrero Hill, Dogpatch, and Mission Bay neighborhoods of San Francisco, produced in 1988 by City Graphics. It serves as an important reminder of the drastic changes, as well as some continuities, in the area over the past several decades. The view is oriented towards the north, with San Francisco Bay at right and the U. 101 highway at left. Interstate-280 also appears towards the right, giving the viewer some recognizable landmarks for orientation. However, liberties have been taken with geography and perspective, which are’twisted,’ perhaps to fit in more businesses. A text box above the title introduces the neighborhood and its history, including its growth in the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake and fire. Several of the businesses present here still exist, including but not limited to the Bottom of the Hill, Goat Hill Pizza, the Bay View Boat Club, and the Anchor Brewing Co. San Francisco’s oldest brewery (recently closed, perhaps forever). Others were local institutions at the time but have since closed, such as the Pickle Family Circus. The area near the Mission Creek Channel (the greenspace at top-center) has undergone tremendous change since this view was published. At that time, it was a mostly industrial area, but has since been redeveloped, with luxury condominiums and high-end restaurants adjacent to the newly-built Chase Center (home of the Golden State Warriors), UCSF Mission Bay medical campus, and the Kaiser Permanente Mission Bay Medical Offices. Another notable addition is the San Francisco Muni’s T Third Street light rail line, which began operations in 2007 and was recently extended to Union Square and Chinatown via the Central Subway project. This view was designed and illustrated by Rob Zell-Breier and published by City Graphics in 1988.
