The Fifth Ward

A mortuary with on-site residence for the mortician? (the apartment to the left).  As noted the business next door was a bar-b-q joint.  The Fifth Ward was known as the barbecue ward.  Here's an old article in the Press which names some of the places.  J.C. Reid did a similar article earlier this year in the Chron, behind the paywall so I've never read it.

 

I thought maybe Kozy Kitchen, 1202 Lockwood, which I went to once and remembered as a wood-frame building, although larger than that appears to be.  However the current street view shows Kozy Kitchen (closed) in a brick building.

 

Maybe if someone has access to white pages/yellow pages from that era (60s) they could look for barbecue places in the Nickel, then compare addresses for mortuaries.

 

ETA the links.
