Geary near Arguello

January 1, 1956

View northeast across Geary to Municipal Railway (Mun) B-Line streetcar #140 with wings livery and ad for Mural Room at St. Francis Hotel. Larkins Building (former Park & Ocean Railroad Co. Geary St. Carbarn), with signage for Brown Buick Co. in background. Coburn Insurance 3738 Geary at left. The B and C cars ended service on December 29, 1956.

ART CURTIS message: This has to be before 29 December 1956, which was the very last day for the "B" & "C" Geary streetcar lines. I know, I rode the very last "B" car into Geary Car House that day. Diesel buses started running on the "38-GEARY" line the next morning.
