Explore how seeing history contributes to "place making" in our neighborhoods.
- How does a community define its physical place and, therefore, a feeling of belonging in a neighborhood?
- Why do historic houses still feel relevant to us in San Francisco?
- How does this "sense of place" in our lives contribute to meaningful work and job creation?
