Ingleside in 1938 was a growing residential area at the base of the newly built City College of San Francisco, which was constructed on the former site of a correctional facility for wayward boys. The scale model showcases the ringed road of Westwood Park, surrounded by hundreds of 1920s middle-class bungalows. Balboa Reservoir, bordered by Phelan Avenue, was\u2014even then\u2014empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not visible on the model are Dorothy Adams and her husband, Art, who defied Westwood Park\u2019s racist declaration of Covenants, Codes, and Restrictions and purchased a home on Plymouth Avenue in 1959, becoming the first black residents of the neighborhood. Also missing are the dozens of proposals for the reservoir site\u2014currently a parking lot for CCSF\u2014including the most recent plan for public housing. Phelan Avenue was renamed Frida Kahlo Way in 2018, replacing the real-estate tycoon and former mayor with a celebrated artist who visited San Francisco in the early 1930s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
