As more high-salaried tech workers move into San Francisco, the face of the city continues to evolve.

Photos taken in the 1940s and 1950s by amateur photographer Charles Cushman show a beautiful and diverse city, one that's filled with gorgeous vistas, classic Victorian homes, and people from all walks of life.

The colorful photographs - among the first of their kind - are an amazing glimpse at a San Francisco of the not-so-distant past.
