While doing the art rounds in the Mission, I ran across this picturesquely crumbling building. Nice painterly texture contrasting with stabilizing Cubist grid, but I’m glad the repairs are not my problem. It’s on Shotwell between 16th and 17th Streets, if you want to pose your friends in front of a suitably pictorial backdrop. Cheese!
