IN-PERSON: Vanished San Francisco   

**This class will be taught In-Person**

A visual look at more than 50 places and items that were once found in San Francisco but are completely gone now. Many residents remember the Embarcadero Freeway, two-toned fog horns, the “gas holders” that stood in several neighborhoods, and the Hamm’s Beer sign. Others have heard about cottages that covered Dolores Park in 1906, the Sweeny Observatory in Golden Gate Park, and Washerwoman’s Lagoon. Learn the stories about these and many other things that were once here but have “vanished” forever from the city.
