Architecturally not as interesting as the upper station at Angel's Flight but still it is Ansel Adams...
As I'm sure you know, it's this little dead end that Sarah Bixby Smith remembered in Adobe Days, "The level street at Court and Hill, protected on three sides by grades too steep for horses, was our safe, neighborhood playground." (this was circa the early 1880s) A photo from that time has been posted here before.

Thank you for the above Flyingwedge. During this whole discussion I kept wondering where the actual cells were.
