Turk Near Mason

January 1, 1915

North side of Turk between Mason and Taylor. [Hauptquartier Pacific Saenger Bund, San Francisco, Cal] The John D. Schroeder Company, a German restaurant and saloon, was there at 30 Turk Street from 1910-1919. The Haupt Quartier Pacific Saenger Bund, apparently quartered upstairs, translates as Headquarters of the Pacific Singing Federation. The upstairs was later John Kyne's Union Athletic Club from 1915-1919, then the second and last location of Jerome Bassity's Thirty-third Assembly District Club from 1920-1921, and was the later site of Joe Schreiber's and later Elmer 'Bones' Remmer's Menlo Club from 1933-1948. These were three well-known Tenderloin poker rooms run by notorious Tenderloin gamblers. Hotel Dale (later renamed Hotel Dalt) at left. (PF)
