San Francisco 1930s in Color, a Trip Up Market Street, w/ sound design added

I colorized, restored and created a sound design for this video of San Francisco 1930s, The trip begins at the Embarcadero clock tower and merely runs straight up Market Street. Notably, the old Examiner building and marquee pop up at the 3:14 mark, and the video switches to some manner of parade at the end.

Market street 1930

[@TheLindaLou1]

Loved this nostalgic trip back in time! I was born and raised in SF in the 50’s. So many of the buildings are familiar. Everyone was so nicely dressed. Most people wore hats and when my mom and I shopped at The Emporium and Hales (anyone remember Hales?) and had lunch at Manning’s we always dressed nicely. No pants or, Heaven forbid, torn jeans in those days!

[@cazalde]

Same here. My mom would dress us up and we would take the bus into SF and spend the day shopping at The Emporium. For lunch we would go to Manning’s or Tad’s Steaks on Powell. It makes me so sad to see how much SF has deteriorated.

[@themoviedealers]

Thank God we don't have to walk around in suits and ties and hats anymore. I agree that some people take it too far and walk around in pajamas, but this is too far in the other direction.

[@chansetwo]

My grandfather lived in San Francisco during this time and died there at age 35 in 1939. I moved to the city 60 years later and walked and drove up many of the same streets that I'm sure he also did. It's great to see this film and actually see what he saw back then.

[@dinocorreia1202]

I could spend hours and hours watching those footage nonstop. A remarkable moment of our modern civilization

This is amazing, I got an idea now what things were like when my grandma grew up. 1912-2016 103yrs old, one month shy of her 104th.

[@SallySallySallySally]

This particular film is one of those shot by movie production companies for later use as rear-projection in scenes shot from "inside a moving car" such as when viewing the driver through the windshield where these would be projected behind the prop car and appear to be "out the back window." YT is awash in these from the Los Angeles area but this is the first one I've seen from San Francisco. The originals, of course, were B&W since films of that era were almost all shot in B&W.

[@robjones83]

I was wondering why there were so many of these kind of clips around. Surprised these films were saved and survived. I can see Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn talking in the back of a taxi as I watch this. There is a 1905 film like this of San Francisco before the earthquake. Might this also have been a production film as 1905 would have been when movies were in their infancy.

[@shaine3911]

It's like I'm really there riding in the back of mom and dad's car looking out the back window at everything. Great job. So real.

[@gryhze]

I remember the S. Frey stationary store on Market. Had an incredible number of globes on display on the main floor. Purchased a bottle of Parker "Quink" blue fountain pen ink from the shop. There was a time that "going downtown" meant being dressed up for the occasion.

[@allendever949]

Great video. Thanks! Many buildings still there although from the ferry building down a few blocks is the 1960s Hyatt Regency Embarcadero and Embarcadero Center which tore blocks of those beautiful old buildings plus interspersed are many high-rises from the 70s down Market St. But a lot still there in the Financial District. I am always amazed on what is still standing in SF even pre earthquake. My favorite find in the past 12 or so years, is at 2:42 mark , to the Left, where you see a Florsheim shoe shop, is the old SF chronicle building (Kearny and Market St), one of the first high rises built in the 1880s I believe, and in the 1960s to revitalize it, someone put this horrible silver aluminum cladding over the entire building , It wasn't until the Ritz Carlton condos bought the building, removed the cladding and revealed it's late 1800s beauty. Of course, some modifications happened and allow them to add several stories to the top, but they did it in a way to not take away from the original buildings look.

[@chansetwo]

I remember when they pulled the front off that building. It was quite a treat to see the original face preserved in such good condition. I believe it was red in color if memory serves.

Great video. I always get a kick out of the fact that Market St used to have 4 sets of streetcar tracks, 2 lanes of traffic and cars parked on both sides, and pedestrians managed to navigate adeptly; standing in between approaching streetcars, being able to look both ways, etc, and now we had to decrease car traffic further, after a full 50% of the streetcar tracks had long been taken up and most transit streetcar service had been moved under the street, because people can’t get across it without getting hit, even despite most every block having a traffic light with cycling walk signal 24/7.
