View north from near Cambridge and Shelley Drive. Bernal Heights and Potrero Hill in the background. Greenhouses from some of the many flower nurseries that occupied this area in the foreground. The large building at center, on University across from the reservoir, was built in 1875 as University Mound College, a Presbyterian boys' boarding school. In 1879, the building was sold to the Lick Old Ladies Home, funded by one of the charitable bequests in James Lick's will. In 1896, their name was changed to University Mound Old Ladies' Home. The building was demolished in 1931 and replaced with a larger modern structure, extant in 2018. Most of the land seen in this view was later developed for single family homes.
