Corner of Market, Geary and Kearny in San Francisco, ca. 1911
In the foreground (center of the picture behind a horse cart and in front of the white building, spire sticking up higher than the entryway of the building) is Lotta's Fountain built in 1875 with a bequest from Lotta Crabtree, and designed by Wyneken and Townsend. In 1915 the cast iron shaft of the fountain was lengthened by eight feet to be more sympathetic with the design of the new Market Street streetlights.

Original source of the photograph was The Foundation for San Francisco's Architectural Heritage. A non-profit member-supported organization dedicated to the preservation of architecturally, historically and culturally significant structures in San Francisco. For information, call (415) 441-3000.
