Haight-Ashbury Neighborhood

The intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets is marked by a prominent clock, permanently set to four twenty, which signals your arrival at the geographic center of the nineteen sixties counterculture. This neighborhood is home to a high concentration of colorful, well-preserved Victorian houses that survived the nineteen oh six earthquake and fire. These architectural gems, once affordable, became a magnet for artists and musicians during the mid-nineteen sixties.
