710 Ellis Street is in the heart of the rundown Tenderloin Distrist, an area of San Francisco with many long neglected inexpensive residential hotels.  That wasn't the case when these buildings were built.  The entrance to this building is embelished with a carved granite surround featuring a classical Greek acanthus leaf motif. At first I thought it might be glazed tile, but it was actually granite.  There are many undiscovered treasures right in plain site.
