I like the new vs old theme in this pic
That is certainly a big issue in our city.

A fascinating piece of atrchitecture. A major contrast to the older building

I think that particular house is attached to the church. This is an old industrial/commercial neighborhood a block south of Market Street that has been redeveloped completely over the last couple of decades. Indeed, the CJM building itself is a 100-year-old (and mostly abandoned) power station. The original facade still exists, and the modern blue-glass extensions have been added. I think the blending of new and old in the building itself was done very tastefully, and it also is respectful of older neighboring buildings like the church.

I really like the blend of old and new. Although as a rowhome lover it always makes me sad to just see a lone one like in this picture–where did the rest of them go?

Will definitely have to check this out when I make it to SF. Happy WW!

I actually like seeing the modern architecture right next to the more ornate styles!

Old and modern structure bind together?what a classic and artistic scenery…

It looks very modern to me compared to the buildings around. It’s a pity that nowhere architecture is respected. They just put old and new together.

Nice angle of the museum! If I ever get to San Francisco I’ll have to go look at it.

That is one cool building! I’ll have to see it next time we travel to San Francisco (whenever that may be, our relatives there are now spending 6 months a year in Hawaii – lucky for them but wayyyyy too far for us unfortunately).

Another perspective on the Contemporary Jewish Museum here in San Francisco. You can see my previous photo from about one year earlier.
