City Guides: Dogpatch and Potrero Point

This event is full, we are offering many other City Guides Walking Tours this Summer. 

Discover the vibrant history and transformation of Dogpatch, from its industrial roots to a bustling mixed-use district, brimming with stories of resilience and renewal.

No one knows for certain how it got the name Dogpatch — Once the home of iron works, shipyards and other heavy industry, contemporary development is transforming this area to a lively mixed use district.

View historic working-class cottages add industrial-age relics. Preview Pier 70’s transformation from an abandoned maritime industrial complex to a new mixed use development. We’ll delve into its colorful past, featuring fascinating stories of its original working-class population and its powerful role during World War II.

It’s a designated Historic District you simply can’t miss.

Meet at Illinois and 20th Streets. Muni 15, 48, 55, or KT-3rd.
