New Montgomery Street
New Montgomery Street, formerly Montgomery Street South, begins at Market Street and terminates at Howard Street in the SOMA district of San Francisco, California.
==History==
Before New Montgomery Street was created, an inner street called ''Jane Street'' ran parallel to Second and Third Street. In the 1870s, ''Montgomery Street South'' was established in its place as the southern extension of Montgomery Street, one of the main thoroughfares in San Francisco's Financial District, running north from Market to Telegraph Hill. The extension was strongly supported by businessman and Bank of California founder William Ralston – who started the construction of the original Palace Hotel, at the time the largest hotel in the Western United States – in an effort to expand San Francisco's business district to the yet undeveloped area south of Market. Ralston's original plans to connect Montgomery Street to the waterfront failed due to the unwillingness of two property owners (governor Milton Latham and shipping baron John Parrott) to sell their mansions on Rincon Hill, which is why Montgomery Street South never got past Howard Street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://foundsf.org/index.php?title=The_Silver_Era,_1860-1870 )〕
