Then and Now

‘Then and Now’: Lincoln Way and 48th Avenue

Above: Looking east on Lincoln Way at 48th Avenue in 1914. Laborers are working on H-line tracks curving into Golden Gate Park. At left is a small depot constructed of parts of the former Park and Ocean Railroad depot and moved from Haight and Stanyan streets.

Right: More than 111 years later, the train tracks that once entered Golden Gate Park are long gone. Some apartment buildings replaced single-family homes along Lincoln Way. Photo by Michael Durand.
