I was just in this neighborhood, but missed this. Saw lots of new (to me) murals on Honest Abe’s warehouse though.

Hello, I ran across this tidbit doing a web search on Philip Ernest Bowles. From “Financing an Empire – History of Banking in California”, Cross, Dr. Ira B., S.J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1927:

“In November 1883 Mr. Bowles was united in marriage to Mary A. McNear, daughter of George W. and Amanda M. (Church) McNear.”

Hope that helps! FYI, I have always loved that building. Always kept an eye out for it on many a bus ride down Telegraph when I lived in Oakland.
