Brick and cage (again)(22 February 2025)

An older brick building in SF's Jackson Square district with an iron cage over one second floor window, and iron balconies on the others

I'm assuming the cage is to prevent parkour challenges, but I can't be sure.

Old Brick Wall in the Sun (1 August 2024)


The texture of these buildings, the faint painted sign, the segmental arches (structural work over the windows also done in brick), the color variations between the bricks... These are so visually delightful to me!  (And yes, the building can support the modern rooftop structures added later, which are appealing when viewed from Salesforce Park.)

Historic industrial with brick


I really like the strange, triangular (in plan) driveways/cutouts in some of these old warehouses...  They are often marked with different colors, though not this one....  The utility pole business is off the charts in this area, and one here appears to be sprouting fire escapes (though it isn't).

You know how I am about brick buildings with fire escapes.

Brickwork with ring


A nice detail in the South End Historic District.  (I believe this was once the location of Moore Shipbuilding.)
