Church St. Mural
This fascinating and well executed mural depicts San Francisco throughout the years. The artist employs an overhead view of Market St. from an oblique angle through a wide angle lens.
On the left (and to the east), the Bay, the Ferry Building, and the Embarcadero swoop into frame in stark high contrast black lines on a white backdrop.
The scene fades to sepia tone as the years advance from the turn of the 20th century through the 1920s.
The 1930s, depicted in a nostalgic faded color scheme, shows Policemen addressing the people.
The 1940s, in a shade of green, shows a parade.
The 1950s, in a cold, subdued blue shows trolleys, cars, and trucks.
The 1960s shows crowds in bright colors filling the sidewalks.
The 1970s and 1980s show dense automobile traffic, and a sliver of contemporary society filling the streets caps off the millenium.
An empty city of the future awaits to the west at the far right of the mural.
