191245287San Francisco 1912. 2nd generation photograph . Now housed in an archival mylar sleeve. Some fading to left side of image. Mount with some minor edgewear. Overall Very Good. Photograph: 6-5/8" x 8-5/8". Mount: 9" x 10-7/8" <br/><br/>A rare item of San Francisco local history this photograph documents a short-lived restaurant operated by Joseph S. Lincecum located at 694 McAllister Street. Mount verso with prior owner pencil annotations naming the 5 individuals behind the counter including Lincecum's wife Adell as well as dating the image Jan 5 - 12. An examination of period San Francisco business directories shows Lincecum's restaurant first appearing in 1910 albeit at another location 459 Franklin no entry in 1911 at this location in 1912 and absent once again from the 1914 as well as 1916 editions. A search of Ancestry shows a Joseph S. Lincecum born in New Brownsville TX in 1866 dying in Deming NM in 1919 who we believe may be this individual though we are unable to independently confirm that supposition. unknown books
