In March 2013 @sf_historian tweeted a [http://cdn.calisphere.org/data/13030/vv/hb3t1nb2vv/files/hb3t1nb2vv-FID4.jpg Calisphere photo of La Lengua, Noe and Twin Peaks] as seen from atop Bernal, supposedly 1906. It was taken from above what will become the Esmeralda stairs.<br />
<br />

<br />
So much here! The old car barn on Valencia & Mission. The Railroad Hotel on Tiffany. The Southern Pacific rail trestles and berms through Noe Valley. Here’s an annotated version (click to zoom)<br />
<br />
[[Image:1907-la-lengua-from-bernal.jpg|720px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
Some detail, cross-referenced with the 1906 Sanborn maps (via [http://maptcha.org/ Maptcha] and [http://www.davidrumsey.com/blog/2011/6/27/pre-earthquake-san-francisco-1905-sanborn-insurance-atlas David Rumsey])<br />
<br />
[[Trains in the Mission|Southern Pacific rail]] trestles and berms crossing 29th and Day Streets, between Dolores and Church:<br />
<br />

<br />
The future home of Rock Bar on the corner of Tiffany & 29th:<br />
<br />
[[Image:1907-rock-bar.jpg|720px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
which was built in 1901:<br />
<br />
[[Image:1901-sf-chron-store-and-boarding-house-29th-and-tiffany.png]]<br />
<br />
I’m pretty sure the building with the curved roof is the old Lyceum Theater (now the Safeway parking lot):<br />
<br />
[[Image:1907-lyceum.jpg|720px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
We’ve discussed [http://burritojustice.com/2009/07/21/bowling-alley-in-the-mission/ the Lyceum] in [http://burritojustice.com/2009/06/30/mission-valencia-art-win-some-lose-some-and-then-some/ previous posts], and [http://bernalwood.wordpress.com/2013/03/28/ghost-of-lyceum-theater-haunts-safeway-parking-lot/ Bernalwood] did a feature on them last week. However, the Lyceum wasn’t built until 1907, so this photo must have been taken after that. In 1905/06, the Safeway block was pretty sparsely populated:<br />
<br />
[[Image:1906-mission-30th-29th-la-altec3b1a1.jpg|720px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
The building immediately to the right of the Lyceum is still standing — it’s now La Alteña Taqueria.<br />
<br />
[[Image:1907-la-altena.jpg|720px]]<br />
<br />
which once had a [http://burritojustice.com/2009/07/21/bowling-alley-in-the-mission/ bowling alley]!<br />
<br />
[[Image:Bowling.png|350px]]<br />
<br />
And on September 22, 1910, the cops busted it for being open after hours.<br />
<br />
Half of the east side of Tiffany Ave was taken up by the United Railroad car barn (previously Market St. Railroad).<br />
<br />
[[Image:1906-sanborn-tiffany-car-barn.jpg|720px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
The buildings along the 3200 block of Mission Street that backed up onto the car barn are still standing:<br />
<br />
[[Image:1906-3200-block-of-mission-crop.jpg|720px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
And the old wall of the car barn is what you see when you eat in the back of Blue Plate!<br />
<br />
Here’s a picture of the car barn looking south up Tiffany, via Paul Trimble:<br />
<br />
[[Image:1907-tiffany-car-barn.jpg|720px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
Across the street from the car barn was the “Railroad Hotel”, a 30 room boarding house. Built in the 1880s, it was once known as the “Cable House”, and was torn down in the 1920s.<br />
<br />
[[Image:1907-railroad-hotel.jpg|720px]]<br />
<br />
Looking through the archives, all sorts of crazy-ass things happened at 24 Tiffany. Seriously, they could have made a reality TV show about it. If you ever time travel and stay at the Railroad Hotel, it’s best to not leave your things out:<br />
<br />
[[Image:1904-24-tiffany.jpg|720px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
Rather than merely passing out from gas, the “hard drinking” Hugh Lynch [http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cdnc?a=d&d=SFC18990401.1.9&cl=search&e=-------en-logical-20--41-byDA---%22tiffany+avenue%22-all# mistook his window for the door] and fell to his death from the 3rd story of the Railroad Hotel in 1899:<br />
<br />
[[Image:1899-24-tiffany-hugh-lynch-fall-out-window.jpg]]<br />
<br />
In [http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cdnc?a=d&d=SFC19061208.1.7&cl=search&e=-------en-logical-20--121-byDA---%22cable+house%22-all# 1906] you could have caught Leah Kleschna stealing your things:<br />
<br />
[[Image:1906-24-tiffany-rose-carey.jpg]]<br />
<br />
In 1894, bartender Thomas McCann shot himself in his room.<br />
<br />
[[Image:1894-24-tiffany-thomas-mccann.png]]<br />
<br />
Up to 1890 he was an cable car conductor, so I’m sure there’s a story there.<br />
<br />
[[Image:1890-address-thomas-mccann.jpg]]<br />
<br />
In 1920, Cecil Wave Breck, the 15 year old daughter of residents of 24 Tiffany, ran away with a Canadian electrician to Chicago to become an actress. <br />
<br />
[[Image:1920-cecil-wave-breck.jpg|250px]]<br />
<br />
(Anyone in Chicago want to look up George M. Forest?)<br />
<br />
Unsurprisingly, the boarding house was looking for sober cooks and waitresses, and advertised “surprisingly low rent”.<br />
<br />

<br />
Anyway, let me know [http://burritojustice.com/2013/03/28/la-lengua-1907/ in the comments] if you find anything else interesting in the photo, like these horses hanging out on the unpaved streets of Bernal Heights:<br />
