I colorized, restored, and sound-designed this rare footage, offering a valuable glimpse into San Francisco in the 1920s. Filmed primarily in the neighborhoods of Westwood Park, Miramar, St. Francis Wood, Ingleside, and Forest Hill, the footage documents several identifiable locations across the city. Visible sites include the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Way at 29 Eastwood Drive, where the original chimney, window layout, and roofline remain recognizable despite later renovations; residential streets along Miramar Avenue, Southwood Drive, Northwood Drive, and Monterey Boulevard, where characteristic neighborhood entryways are still preserved; the former tea room at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Faxon Avenue; the Balboa Theater at 3630 Balboa Street; Commodore Sloat Elementary School as seen from Junipero Serra Boulevard; St. Francis Boulevard and Portola Drive, including the traffic circle fountain near 235 St. Francis Boulevard; panoramic views likely filmed near Hazelwood Avenue and Los Palmos Drive; the Ingleside Community Center at 1345 Ocean Avenue; West Portal Elementary School at 5 Lenox Way; the former Forest Hill Station at 380 Laguna Honda Boulevard; the Laguna Honda Home, now Laguna Honda Hospital, near the Florence Nightingale statue; and residential scenes at 250 Hazelwood Avenue and the corner of Hazelwood Avenue and Joost Avenue.
