Above: This photo, taken on Feb. 10, 1908, shows Old Nurnberg at Eighth and Fulton, one of the many bars and taverns that lined Fulton in the Inner Richmond, a remnant of Beertown. Beertown was the name given to a five-block stretch of Fulton, which started in the 1870s with watering holes servicing patrons of the Bay District Race Track (1875-1896). The horse-racing track covered approximately 15 blocks from First Avenue (Arguello Boulevard after 1909) to Fifth Avenue, and “A” Street (Anza after 1909) to “D” Street (Fulton after 1895).

Below: Here is the same location 118 years later. The apartment building located there today once housed residents of the Delancey Street Foundation, a self-help organization for substance abusers, ex-convicts and unhoused people. It moved to the Embarcadero in the late ’90s. Photo by Michael Durand.
