The LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District works to help residents, workers and visitors appreciate the history and importance of the Cultural District’s buildings and streets.
Leather Legacy Landmarks (aka the Leather History Cruise) is a project to install bronze plaques at key historic locations around SoMa, in cooperation with the SF Arts Commission, Public Works, and the SFMTA, with funding provided by local developers and the community. You can read about it in a September 2020 Bay Area Reporter article, also available in a pdf version.
A Resolution authorizing the plaques was unanimously approved by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors (as reported in a Bay Area Reporter article) and signed by the Mayor on April 16, 2021.
Additional design reviews and approvals are still required. Your presence and comments (via Zoom, or by email in advance) will be much appreciated. Please consider signing up for our SOMA Action Network so we can let you know when we need that help.
The first plaques will be installed as part of the Department of Public Works’ upgrade to Folsom Street, now under way.
Meanwhile, we invite you to view this presentation about the plaque project.
Thanks!
