South of Market

Henry Infant, born Italy in 1885, moved to San Francisco with his wife in 1923. By 1978, when interviewed for the Oral History Project, he had been a barber at Gordon’s Barber Shop on Seventh Street off Mission Street for 54 years. (Read an excerpt from the Neighborhood Oral History project interview with Henry Infant here, pages 4 and 5.)
