SF Home Movies, Late 1940s

This late 1940s-early 1950s home movie showcases San Francisco in Kodachrome or black-and-white, capturing a family’s lens on the post-WWII city. Likely featuring shaky shots of the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars clanging up Powell Street, or Fisherman’s Wharf bustle, it might include kids playing in Golden Gate Park or fog rolling over Twin Peaks. With cars of the era—boxy Chevys or Fords—and street scenes, it’s a nostalgic glimpse of a booming, optimistic San Francisco amid early Cold War vibes.
