Market Street View circa 1940

Elevated view southwest on Market from the Ferry Building Tower [Looking out Market St. From Ferry Bldg. Showing Twin Peaks, SF CA][Market Street, 'The Path of Gold', stretches from the Ferry Building on Waterfront to Twin Peaks. This centrally located urban mountain rising 1000 feet above the city has been tunneled for rapid transit to residential districts beyond. Market Street is more than 100 feet wide and accommodates four car tracks. Smart shops, large buildings and stores line this main artery of Down Town travel.]
