Dashiell Hammett's San Francisco

It's still there: the city of Sam Spade, of the illusive Maltese falcon. Through the decades the beatniks, hippies, and yuppies have all come and gone. But Dashiell Hammett’s San Francisco is still there--not only in street names, but in the buildings, alleyways, and timeless atmosphere of this city by the Bay. Join us in our quest to find what remains of Dashiell Hammett’s San Francisco and to record it by photographing the very addresses that appear in his immortal crime stories. It started as a literary treasure hunt. It ended up a grail quest, like the search for the Maltese falcon itself.
