Harvey Milk's Castro Camera - LGBT political landmark

Harvey Milk operated Castro Camera at this address in the 1970s, using the shop as a base for community organizing and his political campaigns; the store is widely documented in biographies and histories of San Francisco politics. Milk's election to the Board of Supervisors in 1977 and his assassination at City Hall in 1978 made the shop a focal point in LGBT history and local memory. The location is frequently cited on walking tours and in histories as an iconic site of 1970s gay-rights activism.
