Event Details

We start with the famous Golden Fire Hydrant.

The “miraculous fire hydrant” that saved the Mission District in the 1906 earthquake and fire. See the comments below for the story of how the fire was stopped at 20th Street.

(Photo above of beautiful a 20th St. Victorian that survived the fire by the width of 20th St. Here is a fabulous video tour of this house including the interior at 3755-20th.)

Sometimes by walking along several blocks of the same street we can get a feel for how these houses blended into and were part of a neighborhood and form a village and the community fabric. We’ll do that today along Lexington & Chattanooga St.

After the tour, option is for take-out burritos at El Toro. Then bring back to the Park for a picnic.
