The following photos of the San Francisco Sheriff's Department Ingleside Jail (1876-1934) are from the private collection of former Sheriff's Senior Deputy Michael Anderson. Senior Deputy Anderson discovered a collection of glass plate negatives of the Ingleside Jail which were taken in May 1930. Anderson then managed to find a rare photo shop tech who could develop the glass negatives into prints, and then to digital images.
