Try image search on Google with "Dolores Park". You can spot the old pics by their appearance. Threre's 300-some hits. Also, try the SF library. You can inquire online, or go in person, then you have the chance of finding a nice librarian to date. LesB

This is a related question: At the very end of the film 'San Francisco,' starring Jeanette MacDonald, Clark Gable, and Spencer Tracy, there's an outdoor park scene where many of the refugees have camped. As there's a lot about the view that reminds me of Dolores Park, I've always wondered if that part of the film was actually done there.
