Powell Street -- you are looking straight up Powell Street. This photograph was taken at the crossing of O'Farrell and Powell Streets, after the earthquake and fire. Nob Hill is at top-left, leveled to the ground! Can you spot where Baron's Cocktail Lounge is now located, and flourishing? ...Look real hard at lower-left -- there you are!
