Then and Now

‘Then and Now’: Alamo Elementary School

Above: Alamo Elementary School is pictured here in July 26, 1926. The school was originally constructed as part of a large bond issue program in the City that gave San Francisco new schools like West Portal and Cabrillo Elementary.

Below: Today, 100 years later, Alamo Elementary School still sits on 23rd Avenue between California and Clement streets, but looks much different with its tree-lined entrance and red facade. Last month, the school celebrated its centennial with a neighborhood block party. Photo by Megan Robertson.
