Above: View looking north on 31st Avenue on Dec. 30, 1930, between Kirkham and Lawton streets, showing 31st Avenue blocked by drifting sand. Men with shovels are clearing the road. Photo courtesy of a private collector/Western Neighborhoods Project/OpenSFHistory.
Below: Mission accomplished – the sand is long gone. There are plenty more wires, cars and homes in this Feb. 28 picture. In the background is George Washington High School in the Richmond District. Construction of the school started in 1936. Photo by Michael Durand.
