This is a continuation of recent Russian Hill stairway hikes, moving east to west.
126 Green St. steps, up from Taylor and partway to Jones, first three pix.
33 Macondray Lane wood steps up from Taylor: 4, 5.
Macondray between Taylor and Jones: 6, 7.
Macondray from Jones west to Leavenworth, pic 8.
On the west side of Jones, down from Green, are 53 sidewalk steps to Macondray for its Jones to Leavenworth section. Pic 9.
On the east side of Jones is a two-block-long sidewalk stairway descending from Green to Union to Filbert, likely making it the city’s longest sidewalk stairway at 368 steps. It passes the entrance to the Jones-Taylor part of Macondray on its way up to Green: 10 thru 18.
Havens, its foot at Leavenworth, downhill from Union, has steps on both sides of the narrow alley gardenspot. It starts out as one stairway (73 steps), with more steps above, leveling out to a walkway to the dead-end (not through to Hyde). The fronts of the houses on the north side of the walk are on steep Filbert St. Back down again, now on the upper south sidewalk: 76 back down to Leavenworth: 19 thru 25.
Filbert from Leavenworth up to Hyde has sidewalk steps on each side. The street in the center is said to be one of our steepest drivable streets at 31.5 grade. The staircount: 117 on the south side, pix 26 thru 33. For Filbert’s north sidewalk steps got 120 steps: last pic.
