Historic Preservation |
Polk Gulch History Project
The history of San Francisco's Polk Gulch neighborhood is dynamic,
joyous, heartbreaking, and wholly unique. It's a history that is also
almost completely unexplored and, during a time of rapid neighborhood
change, at risk of being lost. As part of a sponsored project of San
Francisco's GLBT Historical Society, we seek people's stories of Polk
Gulch, from the 1960s to 2000s. (find out more or tell us your story) |
