OF THE CONSOLIDATED

CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO,*

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OFFICIAL MAPS, 1868, 1870 AND 1872.

EXPLANATORY .- The Ordinance for re-numbering the buildings of this city provides that " Market Street shall be the starting point for the numbers of all buildings fronting on the streets running therefrom in a northerly direction and also for those running therefrom in a southeasterly direction. The streets laid down in the official map of the city & forming the water front thereof shall be the starting point for numbers on all streets running westerly and southwesterly therefrom, except upon such streets running westerly commencing from Market Street, and upon all such streets, Market Street shall be the starting point for numbers. On all streets the num- bers on the right hand side, starting from the point of beginning, are even numbers, and on the left hand side, odd numbers. One hundred numbers, or as many thereof as may be necessary, shall be allotted to each block bounded by principal streets; numbers 100, 200 and 300 being respectively the numbers for commencing the blocks distant one, two and three streets from the starting point on the side designated for even numbers, and numbers 101, 201 and 301, in similar manner for the opposite side of the street, throughout its extent; so that the initial figure of the number placed on a building at any street-crossing shall indicate the number of main streets such street-crossing is from the starting point. Not less than twenty feet in frontage of all vacant lots of ground shall be allowed for each number. On all eross or intermediate streets the numbering shall commence where said streets begin, and shall conform to the plan specified in this Order."

By this new decimal system of numbering buildings. the exact location of any number is readily ascertained; for example, if you want to find 624 Montgomery, it is on the east side of the block extending from Clay to Washing- ton, which is the seventh from Market-Commercial and Merchant being private streets. Again: 825 Clay is above the eighth block from the water front, which is the one extending from Dupont to Stockton. It must be borne in mind that one hundred numbers are allowed on each block between principal streets.

Several of the principal streets have been erroneously numbered. Bryant, Greenwich, Lombard and Vallejo each vary one hundred from the official map, which has been strictly adhered to in the compilation of the present Street Directory. In every instance where an incorrect number has been used, the correct one has been included in the canvass. To prevent confusion the wrong number has been added and enclosed in a parenthesis, thus (1706). The following streets are but partially opened, and each differ materially from the plan originally laid out, viz ; Clementina, Ecker, Jessie, Minna, Natoma, Ritch, Shipley, Stevenson and Tehama.

The principal streets southeast of Market, and running parallel to Fifth, have been, by an Ordinance of the city, changed, and they are to be designated hereafter numerically, as follows: Simmons to be Sixth, Harris as Seventh, Price as Eighth. Johnston as Ninth, and so on as far as such parallel streets continue.

The territory lying west of Laurel Hill and odd Fellows' Cemetery, and generally known as the Outside Lands, has been recently surveyed, and is designated on the new official City and County Map as avenues and streets. Those running north and south are named respectively from First to Forty-ninth avenues, and those running east and west, from First Avenue to the Ocean, and parallel with Point Lobos Avenue, A to W streets. There are a few avenues and streets outside of the boundaries of the foregoing, the names of which will be found included in the Street Directory.

Reference is frequently made in the Register of Names to the following, and which are located as follows: Hoad- ley's Addition, situated west of Pierce and between Geary and Washington; Horner's Addition, south and near the Mission Dolores; Western Addition, west of Larkin; San Miguel Ranch, southwest and near the Mission Dolores; Bernal Heights ( B. H.), near the San Bruno Road and south of the Potrero Nuevo; and University Mound Tract (U. M. T.), west of San Bruno Road, five miles from the City Hall. See also, Prominent Places, page 708.
