The San Francisco History Association presents:

San Francisco's Lost Landmarks: A city in Perpetual Transition

Jim Smith will present an electric view of historic San Francisco
based on
his book, "San Francisco's Lost Landmarks". People who recall San
Francisco's prior days bemoan that it just isn't the same...and
they're right. San Francisco will always remain one of the world's
great cities, but yesterday's San Francisco, with its personalized
style and charm, had no rival. With long forgotten stories and
evocative photographs, "San Francisco's Lost Landmarks" showcases the
once familiar sites
tha have faded into dim memories and hazy legends. Not just a list
of places, facts, and dates, this pictorial history shows why San
Francisco has been a legendary travel destination and one of the
world's premier places to live and work for more than one hundred and
fifty
years. It not only tells of the lost landmarks, but also serves up
the flavor of whst it was like to experience these past treasures.
