In one of San Francisco’s most remote neighborhoods, a huge greenhouse lies derelict. Built in the 1920s, these rose hothouses have now been abandoned for many years. If you look closely, you can see wild roses growing among the broken glass and timber. And if you visit at night, some say you can still see the ghost of the original gardener tending to her flowers.
