View west on 18th (then Falcon) between Danvers and Mono (then Moss). 4161-63 Market, at the time 61-63 Falcon, still stands today. This block began as Falcon Street, which was an extension (and the former name) of 18th. The early 1920's extension of Market Street used Falcon as the right of way, and these homes were on Market. The 1950's widening project created a retaining wall across the street and these homes were now on 18th Street, where their addresses are today. Twin Peaks in the background [dpwbook19 dpw4319]
