This was the first Alcazar built in 1885 by Michael H. DeYoung (publisher of the San Francisco Chronicle). It was located a block east of the second Alcazar (260 O'Farrell) in the 100 block between Powell and Stockton. I don’t think this Alcazar has a page on CT. The O'Conner Moffatt department store and now Macy’s were built on this site after the 1906 quake and fire. Photo is from the SF Public Library/SF History Center. Info is in the Peter M Field book The Tenderloin District of SF Through Time.
