Market near 7th

January 1, 1953

View east from center of Market, accident between Municipal Railway (Muni) K-line PCC streetcar #1027 and auto. Westward Ho! Bar, Rialto Billiards, Army Navy Store, Service Mens Locker Club, sign pointing to Greyhound Station at 7th & Mission, Hotel Shaw, Paramount Theatre on left. David Hewes, Grant, Odd Fellows Buildings, Columbia clothing store 1111 Market, on right. Birdcage traffic signal. (dated circa 1953 based on the license plates and streetcar configuration)

Rick Laubscher - PCC 1027 for clues. Still in as-delivered (early 1952) condition: fleet number on lower left front, still a two-operator car. By mid-1954, the fleet numbers have been moved to the roof. Black anticlimber (bumper) still looks pristine.
