Description
Beautiful old brick church in San Francisco features a large, intricate Gothic stained-glass window. Research indicates it is probably St. Mark's Lutheran Church on O Farrell Street, Constructed of pink brick in a combination of Gothic and Romanesque styles. The item projecting from the brick appears to be a device from which a banner would be hung.
After the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, St. Mark's served as a shelter and first-aid station. Behind it, in stark contrast: a white skyscraper office building set against a spectacular cloudless sky with some lingering morning fog. Photographed in 2009 and converted to a black-and-white fine-art image. Also available in color, in this album.
First Place Winner in the Urban Renewal Contest, December 2011, sponsored by the Architecture and Construction Group. It was featured on the group's home page, as was the color version.
