Caption title.

"The project sponsor proposes to demolish the three existing two- to five-story buildings and redevelop the site with one five-story, approximately 90-foot-tall commercial building, with new retail uses, associated building services, and a below-grade parking garage with 210 off-street parking spaces"--P. 1.

"935-939 Market Street was built in 1907. ...The building was once owned by Emma Ferris, daughter of Claus Spreckles, and housed the Pantages Theater, operated by Alexander Pantages, known as the Theater Magnate of the West"--P. 37.

"947-965 Market Street was built in 1901. Designed by prominent architect John Galen Howard, the building originally housed a 2,000-seat vaudeville theater (the Empress Theater), six retail stores, and a billiard parlor. In 1917, famed showman Sid Grauman acquired the Empress Theater and converted it to a motion picture theater (renamed The Strand)"--P. 39.
