      ho2cultcha,

      Google maps can't find that numerical address (774) on Market Street, but if you do a bit more digging, "Phelan Block" reveals the Phelan Building at the intersection of Market and O'Farrell. It's the one-time Walgreen Building, built in 1908 (so it post-dates the big quake):

      Ya gotta fiddle about a bit with Street View to get a decently comparable vantage point:

      760 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94102
