The one and only San Francisco Ghost Sign Map. Started in 2011, the map is updated on a monthly basis to reflect changes in the city’s landscape. The map is color coded according to sign type.

  • Blue = Building/Business sign

  • Red = Ad/Brand sign

  • Green = Indecipherable

  • Pink = Restored

  • Purple = Covered up or demolished since time of post

Each map point includes a photo of the sign and any relevant historical information on the sign, the brand, the business, or the building in question. Don’t see a sign on the map? Let us know!

As of September 2020 we’re expanding out efforts into the East Bay as well. Want to get involved? Click here to learn more about contributing to the East Bay Ghost Sign Map.
