Physically, North Beach hasn't changed much from 1940, when the Works Progress Administration's guide to San Francisco described Columbus Avenue as a "traffic-crowded artery, where stucco-framed commercial buildings with their awnings and signboards string in long rows." It portrayed the eastern residential streets as "endless blocks of weathered frame flats, staggered - steplike - one above another."
