Then And Now, From Old Postcards

I always wonder whether some of the interesting buildings depicted on postcards from a century ago are still standing. Some are, some aren't. This seems like a good topic to explore, for the ones that are.

Here's a postcard showing the Sing Fat Company in San Francisco's Chinatown. Judging by the automobile, this was probably produced around 1915. Fortunately, this one is still around. No flags and a less fancy exterior, but still on the corner of Grant and California.

Administration Bldg, Randolph Army Airfield. Known as the "new" Westpoint of the Air.



Modern day Randolph Air Force base. Neat building, conceals the water tower. I've visited a few times and used to work within walking distance.

Thanks for posting! Great comparison shot -- it hardly looks like it's changed at all.
