The 500 block of Stevenson Street is punctuated by the iconic SkyBridge — an architectural landmark in the South of Market. Originally part of Weinstein’s Department Store, the bridge connected its main building on Market Street to a second building located on Stevenson Street, shuttling merchandise between the two. Because the buildings were built at different times, the floors did not line up precisely, resulting in the SkyBridge’s quirky, angled shape.
