Artist's Description
End of Dashiell Hammett BW is a black and white version of my color photograph of this corner which is located at the end of a one block street in San Francisco named after author Dashiell Hammett.
Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961) was an American author and screenwriter famous for his detective and crime novels and movie scripts, e.g.: The Maltese Falcon. He lived in San Francisco in the 1920's and wrote many of his detective novels while living in this neighborhood near Bush Street. In 1951 he was blacklisted due to his failure to testify on contributors to a fund used to help other Hollywood friends during the McCarthy era shenanigans of trying to oust all the communists from Hollywood.
This tiny street was renamed after him (it was formerly Monroe St) in the 1980's. He had lived at 20 Monroe in 1926 (the building is now called Dashiell Hammett Place). This street commemorates the notoriety he brought to this little neighborhood through his writing.
