>From the Pacific Tourist, 1879, there is an interesting article on the Gardens. I've known little about them, but recall they were on Mission Street, around 14th. I believe there was a low cost housing project built on the property. Anyway here is the site with an engraving of the Gardens and the answer to the question.. who was Woodward? You wondered about him, didn't you? http://americahurrah.com/PacRR/SFWoodwards.htm -- Bill America Hurrah http//www.americahurrah.com
