Presidio
Looking southwest on Presidio Boulevard from Lincoln Boulevard. Listed as old main road through the Presidio from Alameda entrance. 'Headquarters -- Dept. of California' sign. This is probably from 1906 because that is the only time the headquarters of the Department of California was in the Presidio at the same time as the buildings that can be seen. It was temporarily in the Tennessee Hollow watershed area after the earthquake. (JB) [G57 PR-009] (GGNRA/Behrman GOGA 35346)
