You can’t see this from the street so it’s kind of a rare view, and there’s not much reference to it anymore either.
This is the backside of Sterling Furniture at 1049 Market, from the Stevenson side. The city hall dome is in the background. There are now apartments or lofts inside the old Sterling Furniture building, and the blue loft next door has been unoccupied for over 5 years

The closure of a portion of Jessie Street was apparently an early move toward eventual clearance of the lot in preparation for a parking lot. However, the history of the consolidation and of the people who took part dates back to at least 1913 when Isador Weinstein bought Lot 1 at the other end of the block and founded his line of Department Stores. The first store name to appear was that of Sterling Furniture, but in his obituary printed in 1943, he was described as "president and founder of Weinstein Company Inc., operating six department stores and survived by his widow Gertrude who lived at the Fairmount Hotel and a daughter Mrs. Ivan Anexter whose husband is Vice-President of the Chain. He founded the chain with a small store 36 years ago" (S.F. Chronicle, May l, 1943). After his death deed records for his family’s holdings could be identified by the name Anexter, Sterling Furniture, Weinstein Investment, and as formation of Lot 84 proceeded, as "1049 Market" and Market Street Venture. His death in 1943 was but a footnote in the story of his firm’s activity on Block 3703.
