The older parts of San Francisco are criss-crossed with mid-block lanes. Fulton Grove is a new lane on the old pattern, separate from but connected to the streets. Twenty-two small 3-story townhouses—each with its own entry, garage, and rear garden—face each other along the private drive that is lined with trees. Access at both ends is through large apertures in new buildings that span the lane. The townhouses are sunlit, modern versions of traditional San Francisco residential types.
