Sylvia's
Continental Restaurant is one of three restaurants Charles designed
and built in San Francisco
between 1977 and 1980. Unfortunately, all three are now gone. Sylvia's was the
first of these, a commission
he returned to following a year-long haitus in South America.
The
only known photo that exists of Sylvia's beyond the above photo Charles
took in 1977. Surfacing

of long-time polic chief Heather Fong in 2009.
