Hi!

I am happy that this photo allows you to know what's your old house looking like! Where do you live now?

I am personaly not resident from SFO. I was here for a business trip (in the silicon valley) and I spent a week-end visiting SFO by foot... And you can understand that I took the photo because of its color!

To finish the story, I am french, I live in Provence, near Marseille & Aix-en-Provence (have a look into google Earth to a little village named Mimet!). And my house is not blue!

Ciao Ludovic

I also have great memories of this house from 1974-1975. My friends John, Rob, Jude, Israel and others lived here. I lived around the corner on Broderick St.

Thank you for the photo and the memories it brings back!

Hello s_f_child... and all others who knew this house! I lived in that basement flat, with some lovely people I miss very much. Must have been like 1972-3-4??? Like they say, if you remember the Haight Ashbury you weren't there. Here via Google Street View 7/5/09 and it looks like they are fixing to move the building. Ahhh, YOUTH! If only I could return to those days... many good times in that 5 Baker Street home. PEACE! Love and all that hippie talk :-)
