Pier 43 Ferry Arch
Historical landmark
👍👍 It’s not the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, it’s San Francisco’s very own Pier 43 Arch built in 1914, and used to load and unload rail cars on and off ferries. One of my top five favorite arches in the world. Arches have a place in my heart since they have enabled us to build different types of buildings...

Camera Obscura & Holograph Gallery
Tourist attraction
👍 Sometimes you find one of those out of the way, stuck in time tourist attractions that is totally worth it. This is literally a “camera obscura” which is an optical device that is essentially the grandfather of modern camera. It’s fascinating and mesmerizing to watch, especially on a clear day. I...

Mt. Davidson Cross
Historical landmark
👍 The Mt. Davidson Cross is a cool sight to see in the city. I am not religious and still found it impressive. It is hidden among the trees on top of Mt. Davidson and is a short hike to reach, but it is impressive in size. A nice hidden gem with surrounding hiking trails and city views.

The Golden Fire Hydrant
Historical landmark
🫤 This golden fire hydrant is a bit overrated. It's painted gold, but nothing more. However, there is a story behind it, as it's the hydrant that allowed the firemen to save the Mission District from the Great Fire caused by the 1906 Earthquake. So if you happen to be visiting the Mission Dolores Park...

Frank Lloyd Wright Spiral Interior
Historical landmark
👍 Not the easiest to find so I've added a photo of the front. The building is occupied by a men's clothing store but they are used to folks coming in to view the architecture; they have set aside a space for visitors to leave their bags behind. Very interesting spiral layout and the store itself is ve...
