Just came across this Carleton Watkins photo of Haight area taken from Mint Hill Orphan Asylum in 1866. Those days it was called Sans Souci (think wiggle bike path). The fence is Herman Street. The hill on the right is Alamo Square so we are just downhill from that. I’m guessing these farms were more successful than my 6 radishes and 1 snow pea. There is the Hayes river (under our backyard) that still provides water to the Fillmore and Civic Center fountains,  and occasionally floods Muni.
