Bart Tube Construction, 1967
The over 50 sections of the Bart Tube were constructed at Bethlehem Steel at Potrero Hill, Pier 70. The paint outline at Crane Cove Park doesn’t do them justice. #sfhistory #sfmemory

Hunters Point 1914
You know I'm obsessed with the development at Hunters Point, so I had to buy this glass copy negative aerial view showing the shipyard and hilltop before any of it. The main development there didn't happen until the 1930s, more one this later. #sfhistory #sfmemory

Winterland, 1960
An Elevated view north toward the corner of Steiner & Post, Winterland and on the far corner, the Uptown Theatre. I remember wriggling through the gate one night & seeing huge blocks of concrete dangling from the roof while it was being demolished (probably a bad idea) #sfhistory
