Looking Back Thursday: Telegraph Hill

Looking down Telegraph Hill towards the south. Photo taken in July, 1970. I thought it was really interesting that the sidewalks were actually sidewalk-steps, which made sense considering the grade of the hill. Also, the Bay Windows, I thought, were really neat architecturally. And, the cobblestone street (sometimes there was a layer of cement over the stones, but the cement never seemed to work well)-with all of its bumps, etc. Like stepping back farther in time than even 1970.IMG_0004 - Version 2-001

Whimsy mixed with…..

Georgetown is an odd mix of light industry, residential, artists lofts and retail space in very old buildings. Fascinating that all of these elements can co-exist and thrive. The brick building is part of the very old Seattle Brewery. Not sure what the plan is, but it looks like this building in the old complex is getting a facelift and some major structural help. The Sandbox is an indoor beach playground for children of all ages. The crow on the bottom image seems to be watching over the Vespa scooter.DSC_3628-001 DSC_3630-001 DSC_3635-001

Abandoned Seattle Brewery

I’ve posted some images, in the past, taken at the Seattle Brewery site in Georgetown ( Seattle ). These two images represent some of the reworking of images from a couple of years ago.DSC_0025 - Version 2-001 DSC_0055 - Version 2-001
