After taking photographs of the former coffee shop, I headed through Chinatown and North Beach up to Telegraph Hill to photograph Coit Tower for a possible faux tintype (which ultimately didn't work out that well). On my way down the hill, I explored a few of the nooks and crannies of the area, eventually coming to this cul-de-sac at Kerney and Chestnut Streets that had a view of the bay.

Zoom in.

In Port Huron, Michigan, on October 26th, 2024, was a datestone at East Shore Leadership Academy (formerly the St. Joseph School, built by the St. Joseph Catholic Church in 1940, according to a different datestone on the same building) at the southwest corner of 7th Street and Chestnut Street.

199 Marina Boulevard in San Francisco stands as a striking representation of the architectural evolution along the city’s Marina District. This row of homes blends distinct styles, from Tudor Revival to Mediterranean-inspired aesthetics, a hallmark of the neighborhood’s development after the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The buildings showcase intricate details, with half-timbering and steeply pitched roofs in the Tudor designs, contrasting with smooth stucco facades, rounded arches, and decorative tilework seen in others.

The property’s Mediterranean-style building prominently features geometric detailing and expansive windows, allowing natural light to flood the interior. Its rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the bay, a coveted feature in this prime waterfront location. Adjacent properties retain a mix of influences, such as Colonial Revival and Storybook styles, reflecting the district’s eclectic character, shaped by early 20th-century architects catering to the area’s burgeoning affluence.

199 Marina Boulevard is set along a stretch known for its proximity to the Marina Green, a recreational haven with sweeping vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Residents enjoy easy access to landmarks like the Palace of Fine Arts and Fort Mason, while the nearby Chestnut Street corridor offers some of the city’s finest dining and shopping options.

This area exemplifies San Francisco’s post-earthquake renaissance, combining resilient engineering with thoughtful design. The homes along Marina Boulevard were often built atop reclaimed land from the 1915 exposition, and their enduring beauty highlights the craftsmanship and ambition of the era. For visitors and locals alike, this address encapsulates the sophisticated charm of waterfront living in the Marina District.

"Seems like I see a lot of Green Equinoxes around," I called out. "Is that an '18 or a '19 or a '20 or a '21? I know it's not a '22 'cause they redesigned the headlights on the '22."
