Then and Now

‘Then and Now’: Fulton Street and Third Avenue

Above: This view looking east on Fulton Street at Third Avenue in 1911 shows two boys, one riding a four-wheel velocipede, posing near an empty lot between Second and Third avenues. Golden Gate Park is on the right. 772 and 778 Second Ave. (both built 1910) are visible in background. Photo courtesy of a private collector/Western Neighborhoods Project/OpenSFHistory.

Below: It’s fun to imagine what lives those boys on the left might have lived. Since their excursion, Fulton Street filled up with homes. A sign on the brick building on the northeast corner of Fulton and Third says it is the Cultural Intergration Fellowship. Photo by Michael Durand.
