Above: Looking north on Park Presidio Boulevard from near Balboa Street toward the old Public Health Service Hospital and Presidio, circa 1930. The roadway was widened and re-landscaped in the late 1930s as the Highway 1 approach to the new Golden Gate Bridge. Photo courtesy of a private collector/Western Neighborhoods Project/OpenSFHistory.
