Last week three more sidewalk plaques were installed by San Francisco Department of Public Works as part of the Folsom Streetscape Project. The plaques commemorate historic locations at 960 Folsom (once home to A Taste of Leather, Trading Post, and Studstore), 979 Folsom (site of The Hula Shack and The Slot), and 1123 Folsom (formerly The Stables and current home of The Stud).
This brings the number of plaques installed since last August to 16.
Support provided by Fund for the City of New York on behalf of its fiscally sponsored project, the NYC LGBTQ Historic Sites Project.
