''' Unfinished History '''

You can't tell the history of the Haight Ashbury without addressing the development of Golden Gate Park, especially of the [[Panhandle|Panhandle]]. The Panhandle is actually the oldest of the parks; at one time it was John McLaren's arboretum. Every bush, every tree, even the Eucalyptus (now politically incorrect non-native species) were first planted in the Panhandle to see how they survived. Thus the Panhandle has the oldest trees in Golden Gate Park and 21 varieties of Eucalyptus.

Baker & Hamilton started in a tent near the "Mormon Island" claim above Fort Sutter east of Sacramento in 1849, supplying "miners' hardware": picks, shovels, knives, saws, hammers, axes and nails... By 1860 B&H had a thriving block-long store in Sacramento, and in 1867 they opened their first store in San Francisco, down on Front Street. After merging with Pacific Hardware & Steel Co. in 1918, they moved into 700 7th Street at the corner of the evolving Mission Bay area.

The South of Market, particularly where it adjoins the Northeast Mission, was a vast expanse of warehouses, railroad yards, breweries, and factories until the late 20th century. Streets were wide open and still often carried streetcar lines.

The principle forces at work in the Haight-Ashbury, other than the daily lives of the working class, have been the major health institutions that literally define the perimeter of the neighborhood: The University of California at San Francisco, situated on the southwest corner; St. Mary's Hospital on the northwest corner; Harkness Hospital (or [[Southern Pacific Hospital|Southern Pacific Hospital]]) on the northeast corner; and St. Joseph's, just behind Buena Vista Park on what would be the southeast corner.

In the 1960s and through the 1970s these health institutions were engaged in major expansion plans that had an extraordinary impact on the daily lives of Haight Ashbury residents, many of whom were employed by the hospitals. St. Mary's and UCSF were the two largest hospitals of their type west of the Mississippi (UCSF was the largest university hospital; St. Mary's, the largest religious hospital). Both were licensed for in excess of 600 beds. The UCSF had a total day time population of about 10,000 people, the vast majority of which commuted every day, thus the demand for a [[Freeways trashed by 89 quake |freeway]], and a [[Inner Sunset 1950s|freeway offramp in Golden Gate Park]]. St. Mary's at the time had about 4 to 5,000 daily visitors. Harkness Hospital at Fell and Baker had substantially less, but nevertheless boasted a bed count of about 200 and a staff of about 400. St. Joseph's was about the same size as Harkness.

The biggest employer in San Francisco in the late 1960s and today is health care. In the late 1960s/early 1970s middle class white neighborhoods in the Inner Sunset and the Haight-Ashbury were being threated by hospital expansion. There were at that time in 1970, 25 full service hospitals in San Francisco, each one of which had an expansion plan. UCSF, being a state institution, had total and complete immunity from local land use laws and had the power of eminent domain which they had used to purchase and demolish 500 units of housing in the Inner Sunset to accomplish its growth in the late fifties and early sixties. They bought another 120 units around 1969 and sustained community opposition forced the university to return them to housing use. But they were institutionalized. Across the Panhandle St Mary's Hospital took about 200 units on Shrader and Stanyan streets and did this massive expansion in the very, very early sixties. At that time, the hospital sector was not unionized. During the 1960s it became unionized and there was a very interesting struggle that developed based on an alliance between trade unions and certain community groups that were opposed to hospital expansion.

Harrison Street in the Mission was for most of its life a major thoroughfare for [[Trains in the Mission|rail traffic]], as the [[Southern Pacific Railroad Rolls Through the City|San Jose-San Francisco line]] ran on it, as did many freight trains, including one that went right by the factory above to pick up finished new Ford autos as they rolled off the assembly line. This area of the northeast Mission was contiguous with the Harrison Street [[Harrison Street from Dunes to Trains|corridor]] in the South of Market, which was also very industrialized.

Old train tracks can still be seen here, between 22nd and 23rd, Harrison and Treat.'''

'''July 9, 1959: The people in the area between 22nd and 23rd Sts. and Treat Ave. and Folsom St. have a train in their backyards. It's the Southern Pacific's small branch line, the last of it 'in-town' service for a few businesses there. Train-loving kids in the neighborhood merely have to peer over their back fence to watch 'Casey Jones' at the switch engine, jostling a few freight cars into position. The branch line, which ends at 23rd and Folsom Sts., is part of the historic 'Old Main Line,' the San Francisco-San Jose Railroad, established in 1863. The line was absorbed by SP in 1870, and was operated until 1907. At that time it was discontinued when Bayshore yards here filled in for a shorter route to the Peninsula.'''

Market Street Between 9th and 10th and a Cursed Highrise

'''The Fox Plaza building on Market Street between 9th and 10th, mid-1990s.'''

Fox Plaza, 1390 Market Street.

The [[Fox Theater |Fox Theater]] was America's greatest all-time movie palace. Occupying the entire block bounded by Market, Hayes, and Polk Streets, it harbored 4,561 seats surrounded by the ultimate in classic movie-house opulence. It's gigantic neon sign spelled out F-O-X in letters big enough to be read from the Ferry Building at the end of Market Street.

But in 1963, real estate philistines bought the property, tore down the most magnificent building in San Francisco, and erected a high-rise eyesore in its place.

Plenty of San Franciscans cursed the idiocy of those responsible. But one San Franciscan went further. On the night of the Fox Theater's final show, as the dying Wurlitzer cords echoed through the cavernous theater, future Satanist leader Anton LaVey, then the Fox organist, thundered out a formal imprecation against the owners and the property. The Satanist's curse is sometimes blamed for shoddy construction and other issues that beset the new tower from its opening.

Few remember that across the street once stood a [[Cyclorama at Tenth and Market|19th century phenomenon]], a circular Panorama building that presented historical events on a 360-degree circular canvas called a Cyclorama.
