UPBUILDING MANY PARTS OF THE NEW AND GREATER SAN FRANCISCO
SOUTH OF MARKET CLUB
WORKS WONDERS DOWNTOWN
Changes Character of Its District From Wooden
Structures to One of Substantial Brick and
Concrete Buildings That Is a Credit to City
Before the fire the south of Market
street district between East street and
Ninth consisted mostly of frame build
ings. In Mission street In the vicinity
of First, Second and Third were a few
brick structures.
A few other- buildings such as
the Pacific Hardware and Steel Com
pany building, the Crossley. building
and the warehouses near Second and
Toxvnsend streets were of brick. But
for the most part even the foundries,
machine shops and factories in the
southeast section of the district along
Main, Spear and Howard streets and
the other thoroughfares were wooden.
In Mission and Folsom streets were
to be found the second hand furniture
stores of the city. Here also were mo6t
of the undertaking establishments. In
Minna.- Clementina, Tehama and Clara
streets and the other small streets south
of Market street was to be found the
tenement district of San Francisco,
teeming with population and growing
at a rate that would soon make it the
rival of New York.
"With the great fire of April, 1906,
practically this entire district from
Towr.s^nd street to Market and from
East to Ninth was leveled. Only the
mint and the postotnee were spared.
AJI other buildings were either com
pletely destroyed or gutted.
I.UPORTAVT CLUB ORGANIZES
In this district in August following
the fire the South of Market improve
ment club' was organized.
The object of the club was to attract
business and population back to its dis
trict. A unique plan of the club was
to divide the district into four sections
and charge members according to their
f rontege. The initiation fee ranged
from 5 cents per front foot to 50 cents
per front foot, depending upon location.
To tenants and lease holders the initia
tion fee is one-half that paid by the
property owners.
Originally the club covered all the
territory from East street to Xinth and
from Market to Townsend. but it was
found that one club could not ade
quately protect this district, which rep
resented about a third of the wealth
of the entire, city. Accordingly the
property owners between Second street
and the bay organized themselves Into
the East End district improvement
club and the property owners from
Seventh street to .Twelfth organized
the South Central improvement club.
- Each of these clubs has done heroic
work for Its section. The South of
Market club is therefore practically re
stricted to the district south of Market
street between Second street and Sev
enth.
Xo one who has watched the rebuild
ing of San Francisco can help admiring
the pluck and courage of the mer
chants of this district, who built upon
a scale far larger and grander than ex
isted, before the fire. They changed.it
from a wooden* district to a section of
brick and cement business buildings.

NEW SUBDIVISION
FINELY SITUATED
Fairview Terrace, One of Scenic
Spots of City, in Line of
Future Growth
One of the most attractive city subdi
visions placed on the market this fall
5s 'Fair-view terrace. A peculiar thing
about this district is the fact that it
is practically In the center of San
Francisco.
Situated on the. sunny southern
slopes of the Twin peaks, its northerly
line commences at the junction of
Twenty-sixth street and Corbett ave
nue. It is at this particular point that
all automobiles and pedestrians halt
in surprise at the magnificent pano
rama of San Francisco;. the 1 bay. Berke
ley and its hills. Goat island, the bust
ling ferries and the -shipping, which
lend life and animation to a most re
markable picture.-
In traveling up the peninsula the
road winds through fields and forest
for mile upon mile, gradually rising
from the vicinity of Ingleside on a
very gentle grade until the boundarii*
of Fairview are reached.
It is a spot well known to those fa
miliar with the scenic beauties about
tl.is unusually favored city. It is
these well informed ones who delight
iiost in the sudden surprise tKey spring
upon their astonished companions.
It well repays the trip, even afoot,
to travel from Ingleslde along Corbett
•.venue to this point just to enjoy the
exhilarating spectacle. The varying
lights and shadows as the day advance
\u0084r t h e s ky becomes necked or over
cast with clouds make it appear more
like a dream city than a hustling,
hurrying, mercantile center. all\-e with
busy* human beings. _;.
By day it is a revelation. At. night,
when the seemingly countless thou
>ands of electric lights. sparkle: op and
down hilJs through miles and miles of
city streets, and. as the distant hum
of the nignt life rises, the; scene Is
especially impressive. \u25a0 ' - -
Such is the natural ' situation .of
Fairview terrace. It is\ also right In
line with all further development west-
W^'ln a. few short years." says Lincoln
E Hackett.' who has put .this subdi
vision on the market. "»ft« r " th . e '«P<;:
ing of the Panama canal and the hold
ing of the greatest world's fair In . his
lorv. which Is to take place .in, San
Francisco in 1915. this development
will have become, an accomplished fact.
|U> present newness will have been for
were all destroyed by the fire. By per
sistent efforts all these have been or
are now being restored. -
Among the Improvements that -\u25a0 the
club has secured or is endeavoring! to
secure are: _ i
The care and maintenance of Colum-'
bia park, the construction of a new
police station at Fourth and Clara
streets, the repair of streets and-sew
ers, the construction of the proposed
Lincoln school at a cost of $100.000; in
Harrison street, between . Fourth ,and
Fifth, the construction of a schoolhouse
on Rincon hill, the construction of the
Franklin school in Eighth street at a
cost of $SO,OOO, the care and mainten
ance of South park, the care and main
tenance of the little park on Rincon
hill, the construction of a new bridge
over Channel street at Fourth, the res
toration of all the street lights
throughout the district, the erection- of
alarm boxes for the fire and police de
partments and the establishment of an
adequate electric system in this dis
trict for these departments.
The entire length of Third, Fourth,
Mission and Folsom streets' has been
repaved under the. auspices .of the club,
and new sewers have been constructed
In Fifth street between Market and
Folsom. . Xew fire water . cisterns have
been installed and provision made for
the running of cars through the entire
district where they formerly ran." .. ,
When the budget for the present fis
cal year was being arranged. Father
Rogers, pastor of St. Patrick's church
and a member of the executive board of
the South of Market improvement club,
\u25a0went before the board of supervisors
and pleaded for an appropriation to re
store the streets and lights in this dis
trict. The larger streets had already
been put In good condition. As a re
sult of this plea and the efforts of the
club the board of supervisors recently
granted ., 250 extra lights for the dis
trict. -. -- - \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0-. . . , ; , . . :
. The district Is progressing very rap
idly from a manufacturing and com
mercial standpoint. The club is now
bending its efforts toward bringing
back the people to live in this section.
The property upon the cross streets is
owned mostly by small property own
ers. To enable and induce these own
ers to rebuild Is the aim of the club.
Toward this end arrangements have
been made with two banks to loan on
this property upon terms not heretofore
granted. The rebuilding of these small
streets means the restoration of Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth streets as retail cen
ters.
OFFICERS OF THE CLUB
The officers of the club are: Joseph
Rothschild, president: E. R. Lilienthal,
vice president; S.- G. Parker, secretary;
Charles Schlessinger, treasurer.
The executive committee consists of
E.. R. Lilienthal. Charles Schlessinger,

gotten and people and stores and
teeming life will be too common in
and about Fairview terrace to occasion
any comment. . \u25a0
"It is in this new subdivision' that
the home seeker or investor of limited
means has an opportunity 'to become
Interested that has never before -been
presented on the local realty market,
and a grievous mistake will ;be com-;
mitted by those who hesitate or post
pone action . upon such an important
matter as securing property while it is
readily within their reach.
"In a very short time there will be
no such thing as San Francisco real
estate sold on monthly -terms. It. is
daily getting to be a less common
practice. City" realty is becoming far
too valuable to be .sold on the' easy
purchase plan." -.
Hackett, the selling agent for Fair
view. terrace, says the property ,;' is
proving very attractive to investors
and if the fair season will continue
long enough there will be . a decided
shortening of his stock of available
lots." ' - . ' . \u25a0 ,"

*'\u25a0 operation to Women for
; Improvements
iWhen the gentle persuasion and en
thusiastic co-operatlpn of the .women
of^the district fall the men of the Glen
Park Improvement club are 'called upon.
/ They; are. required" to fight the bat
.tles^ They go before the various city
bodies and conduct the fights which
the. ladles could not make, v ,
I The Glen Park improvement - club
was organized soon after the fire. . At
the'tlme-of Its organization there were
no. streets, no sidewalks, no' sewers, no
gas, very few lights, poor water, bad
car service and few people in the Glen
Park district. . : \u25a0:'.-: \u25a0,-r. ,:; ; ,- \u25a0
The club, has, b.y persevering efforts,
succeeded ,in making a .decidedly-no
ticeable change In these conditions.;
One of its first accomplishments was
the^securlng of two new -car lines for
the .district— the Glen Park-Sunnyslde
line. and the Bosworth street line. •
Among the many simprovements se
cured by,;the club are the repairing and
repaying.of toe streets;- the .laying of
sidewalks-, the securing of -arc" lights
that.. provide; -well, lighted .streets, the
organization of a voluntary fire com
pany under the. control and -manage-"
ment-of the club, the construction of
a- ; firehouse. through subscriptions re
ceived <• by the club, the . creation* of a
new street over Islais creek, 1 the con
struction of two foot bridges over the
creek at Clinton and Hamilton avenues,
postal boxes, branch postofflce and a
branch library. ;..'
Two hundred men and thirteen teams
spent a whole day in filling In Lippert
street, a much needed connection be
tween the. Glen Park and Sunnyside
districts. The work was finally com
pleted-by-the city and county* . - .
• Two a,uxlliary fire cisterns have been
installed iin the district, one at Berk
shire and Diamond streets and one at
Glen . avenue and Surrey street. The
contract has been let for the Glen ave
nue sewer, which will drain Diamond
street and vicinity.
The club has been for a long time
urging 'this work... The sewage has
been drained into the street.: The club,
backe^ by the women's clubs. Is en
deavoring to have. Arlington street ex
tended from the Southern Pacific tun
nel to Bosworth street, thus affording
a direct route instead of the ..long,
roundabout connection <which is 4 now
made with Bosworth street.
The -officers of the club are: - Theo

first vice president; E. "Warren," second
vice, president; "W. Towers, secretary;

IMPORTANT PART TAKEN
BY GLEN PARK WOMEN
Outdoor Art League Formed to Encourage Love of
Civic Beauty 'and Home Decoration Has '1
Had Great Educational Effect
* 'The members -of the- Glen Park out
door art* league, ; which -was organized
June 6. 1908, were at first members of
the .Glen Park , improvement, club, 1 - but
decided thaV it would . be ' preferable to
have an - improvement } club separate
from ' that" conducted by the ''men. • .
| The first and most important matter
undertaken byrthe league was the con^
structlon r of Lippert street. For two
years the .men's- club had -petitioned
the board of supervisors and the board
of public works for the construction of
this street, and It'was a matter of the
utmost concern- to the 'residents of the
'districts.
: The' women .determined to fill-in and
build I a street, which would " give '-; ac
cess to the View and Sunny aide
'districts for teaming and ! which .'would
at the same -time -afford safety, tor
pedestrians. ' -; ; ,
The • women j proposed that Lippert
street off Glen avenue and Berkshire
street should be filled in. This fill
would be 20 feet in depth arid 300 feet
in length. -IVolunteers .were called for.
The Crocker estate was induced to fur
nish rock, .merchants .furnished, teams,
shovels,' etc.;, the Glen Park improve
ment club# and ; other- clubs in the vi
cinity^ furnished ; the laborers. • the
women furnished the meals for the
