The old Produce Market district with the federal building housing the Immigration and Naturalization Service on Sansome in the background. Removing the old Product Market to make way for an expansion of downtown development was the first major project of San Francisco's redevelopment process. The heart of Italian San Francisco was gutted by this process, and the decades-long life of Italian immigrant families and the food industry was permanently altered.
