Below: This picture of the building of the streetcar loop at the western end of Judah Street at the Great Highway goes back almost a century. The 1926 photo shows some development amid many acres of Sunset District sand dunes. Photo courtesy of a private collector/Western Neighborhoods Project/OpenSFHistory.

Above: Time travelers from the 1920s would probably be stunned to see modern four-car streetcars and to learn the sand dunes have been replaced with side-by-side houses that cost an average of $1.5 million. Photo by Michael Durand.
