Description
This photograph shows the Y.W.C.A. building with the attached annex on Second and San Antonio Streets. The original building was designed by Julia Morgan. There are parking meters along both empty streets. The dates on this picture are based on two things. Parking meters were invented in 1935, and this picture seems to be of the building in it's heyday which spanned the 1930s and 1940s.
