Then and Now

‘Then and Now’: Frederick Street at Arguello Boulevard

Above: This photo shows Frederick Street, looking west to Arguello Boulevard, on June 2, 1908. Tracks are for the Market Street Railway #7 streetcar. Polytechnical High School to the left. Photo courtesy of a private collector/Western Neighborhoods Project/OpenSFHistory.

Below: As with most “now” photos in this feature, streetcar tracks are gone and plenty of trees fill the scene. Also gone (or paved over) are the cobblestones. A sign of modern times is the presence of speed humps. Photo by Michael Durand.
