Oh, my gosh.....you may have lived very near my maternal grandparents! They lived at 1235 or 1238 (can't decipher that last number in the photograph that I have) 18th Ave. until 1947 when my grandfather died. I remember a big playground across the street with a big building next to it but I was too young to realize that it may have been a school. I haven't revisited the area as an adult and I'm not familiar enough with how 18th Ave houses are numbered, so I may be mistaken about how close they lived to you. Would their address have been 1 block away? And would the school have taken up two blocks?

: My very first memories of San Francisco were in about 1942 when we lived on 18th ave...2559 18th Ave to be exact. Our house was directly across the street from a huge Catholic school/church.
