SF State College Tennis Courts, Haight & Buchanan Streets (November 1950) (Updated two months ago)

You can view this bundle in the SFSU Over the Years collection area.

The old San Francisco State College campus at Haight and Buchanan Streets in November 1950. This southward view shows the campus tennis courts overlooking nearby residential and commercial buildings. Rapid enrollment growth in the 1930s led to overcrowding at the Haight Street site, and classes officially moved to the Lake Merced (19th Avenue) campus in 1953.
