Brocklebank Apartments

At Mason and Sacramento, next to the Fairmont. This is where Kim Novak’s Madeleine lives in Vertigo (1958). The permit record also lists Sudden Fear (1952), Bullitt (1968) and The Woman in Red (1984).

The columnist Herb Caen lived in the building. It is a private residence, so look from the sidewalk.
