The Presidio Landmark Apartments (San Francisco) when it was the Abandoned PHSH Hospital

Location: Route Hays, San Francisco, CA 94129, USA -

I'm wondering if you have any shots of the large white whale that once decorated this hospital. The one time
I saw this building, the graffiti what caught my attention. If you have an answer for me, please email me at puppetfangirl [email removed - click "write a comment" to view email]. Thank you.

This is the walkway that runs from the roof of the old hospital proper over to the back parking lots and the tennis courts. In 1987 and 1988 I lived in and around the hospital while studying Russian for the Army. This was possibly the best 15 months of my adult life. I made friends and formed myself into the person I am today because of this building and what it meant. I hope those who eventually live here treasure this stout old grande dame of buildings. I will always do so myself. I am sad that it was abandoned after the 88 quake and wish I had had the opportunity to roam the areas that were restricted when I was posted there. I will remember the building the way it was when I drove away, and not the way it was abused and defaced over the years. Graffiti may be art but vandalism of a great old building is till vandalism. Just my opinion. Wanted to share a memory of the PHSH when it was a lving building and not a relic.

thanks for the comment! i met some of your alumnies and we toured the inside of the buildings just before they started the demolition work (see http://www.loupiote.com/sets/72157610753310142.shtml ).
