The Market Street Railway Substation in the Fillmore District of San Francisco, California, is a historic building. It has been listed as a San Francisco Designated Landmark (No. 105) since 1979.[1][2][3]

History

The Market Street Railway Substation was active from 1902 until 1978, and supplied power to the San Francisco Railroad, Market Street Railway, and later San Francisco Municipal Railway (MUNI).[2] The building is made of brick and sandstone, and it survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.[1]

The building had been earmarked for redevelopment by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, which closed in 2012, and after the building was deeded to the City of San Francisco.[2] In 2021, the building appeared to be collapsing, and needed emergency repairs.[2]
