California Historical Landmark #83

A couple of times a month, I spend the day in the bay area for meetings. One of those regular monthly meetings is held in the San Francisco business district. Two blocks from the site and right on my inbound drive is the following historical marker. It is almost half a mile up Market from the Ferry Building and the bay!
