Embarcadero and Folsom: One of main industries that sprung up early in SOMA was the coffee industry. Starting in the late 19th century, San Francisco had become the largest west coast coffee provider by the 1920s, including companies like Hills Bros, Folgers, and MJB. This industry provided the first link between San Francisco and Central America, where the coffee was grown. Following the industry, Central American laborers came to San Francisco in the early 20th century to work in processing plants and canneries. This explains San Francisco's unique connection to Central America, when most other California cities are historically predominantly Mexican. Most people think that Central Americans first came to San Francisco in the 1960s to 1980s, with the wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador, but many chose to come here because they already had family connections and community links going back to the early part of this century.

The Hills Brothers Factory has since been converted to offices, condominiums and a microbrewery catering to the new upscale South Beach professional clientele.

''Photo: San Francisco Museum and Historical Society''

Initially a military hospital built in 1898 in the Presidio of San Francisco, and then in 1911 it was renamed after Jonathan Letterman, who was an officer in both the Mexican-American War, and then later the Civil War. In 1864, Letterman left the army and moved to California to practice medicine. In 1868, he accepted the position to be Surgeon General for California's military organizations. He then died in 1872 at 48 years old. Ever since the medical center was erected, the hospital participated in some way in every U.S. foreign conflict until the base was decommissioned in 1995, and then transferred to the National Park Service. The original building was taken down in the 1960s to rebuild a more modern building. The building was then demolished in 2002, and today the Letterman Digital Arts Center by Lucasfilm is at the site of where the hospital used to stand.

One of San Francisco's landmarks, St. Paulus Lutheran Church was located at 999 Eddy Street at Gough. It was built in 1893, and seated about 1,000 people. The church's services were held in German until 1920, when it added English services. It was not until the mid-1930s that English was the dominant language for the church. In 1906, St. Paulus served as a shelter and hospital for the victims of the earthquake and fire. In 1940, St. Paulus church suffered from a fire that destroyed its roof and tower, which were eventually restored. In 1995, St. Paulus suffered another fire that eventually destroyed the church. St. Paulus was known for their many missionaries. The church also makes an appearance in Alfred Hitchcock's film, "Vertigo."
