Back in the fall of 1995 I spent an afternoon wandering around San Francisco. Today, I'd call that photo walking. Back then, I was wandering with a camera. One of the images I took was of this building, the St. Elizabeth. I was taken with the symmetry of it, took one frame and moved on. Now, trying to place the image, I Googled various combinations and came up with nothing. So, I went back to my film strip, started with a photo that had a street sign in it and located that intersection on Google Maps street View. I then virtually navigated the city, matching views to my images and there it was, 901 Powell, the St. Elizabeth. Still there, not much different. The only indication that it sits on a hill is the differing heights of the street lamps on either side of the door.
