Advertising postcard for the Alhambra Apartments, 860 Geary Street between Larkin and Hyde. Alfred Maart, with his wife Anna, was the proprietor of the Alhambra Hotel Apartments from 1919-1921. This seems to be a copy of the architect's elevation drawn in 1913, architects Dunn & Kearns, and turned into a postcard. The original owner was interior decorator and capitalist August F. Schleicher. The building opened on July 15, 1914. (PF)[Alhambra Hotel Apts. Alfred Maart]
