Now: 18th Street lets the Castro party continue all the way into the Mission. Like a movie sequel, it has the key elements of Castro Street, with brighter dining options and fewer landmarks. Kite Hill is nestled on the edge of Clarendon Heights

Then: The Nobby Clarke Mansion on Douglass Street was one of the area's first houses. Built in 1891 by police officer who dabbled in law(suits), it was briefly a hospital after owner's death (following bankruptcy) in 1902, and has served as apartments since 1920s.

How To Get There: 18th Street meets Castro Street two blocks south of the Muni Station at Market Street. It also meets Church Street at the northwest corner of Dolores Park. To reach the bottom of Kite Hill Park from 18th Street, go south on Douglass Street, then west on 19th Street.
