A 30s Streamline Moderne style apartment in the historic Malloch Building on Telegraph Hill is a drop dead chic, with killer views.
The building is iconic for many reasons — it was featured as Lauren Bacall‘s apartment in Dark Passage (1947) and Alfred DuPont‘s mural decorates the facade. It’s also one of those rare gems known by its address: 1360 Montgomery Street. The one bedroom, one bath pad can be yours for a cool $1.5 million. If I were going to like in San Francisco, I think THIS would be the way to do it.
Bacall’s apartment “Dark Passage” was set in 1360 Montgomery Street. In the movie, the exterior view across Irene’s patio is a photo backdrop used on the studio soundstage to set the location. In the real apartment at 1360 that view would look east across the Bay towards Yerba Buena Island…
Irene’s view through the apartment’s front door peephole when she hears the doorbell ring shows, behind the visitor (Agnes Moorehead) the 3rd floor hallway and the stairs leading up to the top floor.
