Last legs.

The Adolph Gasser photo hardware store on Second Avenue in San Francisco has been dying for longer than most can remember. The paint is peeling, the help inattentive and the whole thing decrepit. In addition to their great location on the east side of Second Avenue the west side, directly opposite, is home to some priceless real estate owned by Gasser which is used as a free parking lot for their increasingly missing customers. Talk of unrealized value.

Currently it’s home to a shoddy exhibit of photographs, the presentation consonant with that of the store across the road.

Gasser’s idea of a photo show.

Talk of development potential. That there is even a camera store remaining in SF is to be wondered at.
