Above: This was the view looking south on 45th Avenue between Kirkham and Lawton streets on Jan. 5, 1915. Houses at 1562 and 1570 45th Ave., both built in 1905, can be seen at left, just a couple of the few homes constructed among the sand dunes that covered the Sunset District 110 years ago. Photo courtesy of a private collector/Western Neighborhoods Project/OpenSFHistory. Below: This photo from the same angle was taken on Dec. 3. At one point, after 1915, a stone garage with wooden doors was built for the house at 1562 45th Ave. Plus, there are a lot more wires overhead in the “now” picture. Photo by Michael Durand.
