The Castro Camera and the Harvey Milk Residence
573 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA
Former camera shop and upstairs residence that doubled as grassroots campaign headquarters.
This guide to Castro Camera in San Francisco follows Harvey Milk, who opened the shop with his partner Scott Smith in 1972 after sinking their last savings into it, and turned the counter into a clubhouse for newcomers and a desk for his campaigns. You'll meet Anne Kronenberg, the volunteer who walked in expecting a long-shot cause and met, in her words, a raving maniac, and hear how the storefront became an unofficial town hall for the street outside. It traces Milk's climb from shopkeeper to Mayor of Castro Street, ending at the door of his fourth campaign for office.
