About the Book

Market Street forms the vertebrae of San Francisco. First surveyed in 1847 by Jasper O'Farrell, the boulevard was laid out to provide a transition between two opposing grids. Intended to become the city's main and widest thoroughfare, it rapidly became the busiest.

In the mid 19th century, San Francisco was regarded as the most developed western American outpost of urbanity, sophistication and refinement. By the conclusion of the century, its reputation rivaled many East Coast cities. Market Street became the base for cable car and horse car lines providing service along the local commercial corridor and connections to distant transfer destinations.

The 1906 catastrophic San Francisco Earthquake and Fire briefly halted development. During the reconstruction, the Market Street cable car lines would be entirely removed and replaced by electric streetcars. Automobiles would replace streetcars. During the 1970s, the introduction of the subterranean Bay Area Rapid Transit system (BART) alleviated some of the traffic congestion.

This edition is an architectural survey of Market Street's historical and contemporary buildings accompanied by historical profiles. The narrative begins from the Embarcadero until the Tenderloin district.
