Potrero Hill SF is now hosting over 50+ historical photos of Potrero Hill thanks to Peter Linenthal who directs the Potrero Hill Archives Project (PHAP). The PHAP is a collection of photographs, oral histories, and ephemera relating to the neighborhood.
Peter is also the driving force behind the annual Potrero Hill History Night held each October. Video copies of past history nights are available for free rental at both 4 Star Video and the Potrero Branch Library.
Interested in checking out more old photos of Potrero Hill? In 2005 Arcadia publishing released ‘San Francisco’s Potrero Hill‘ which contains 221 historical photos of the Hill.
awesome stuff. Great to get in touch with our history.
