San Francisco circa 1920, back at 2150 Washington St. "Moon auto." And if you don't like my parking, get off the sidewalk! 5x7 glass negative. View full size.
The brick pattern with two or more stretcher courses between headers is named Dutch Bond.
I like the bond pattern of that brick wall. It's a common bond, but with the headers every third course, not sixth or seventh course as you usually see in American buildings.
St. Louis-based Moon Motor car Company (1906-1930), which survived its founder Joseph W. by only 11 years, was never a major producer but its offerings were high-quality, medium-price cars offering innovations like Lockheed hydraulic brakes as early as 1924 (something Ford didn't get around to until the late '30s). The model shown is a bit on the short-and-boxy side, but the Rolls Royce-inspired radiator shell is a nice touch.
Looks like some of the granite curbs that can be found in San Francisco.
Such clear reflections.
