Bullitt - Phone Kiosks

  Ross asks the cabbie Weissberg (Robert Duvall, in the briefest of cameos) to pull over to a phone kiosk.  He stops in front of the Stratford Hotel, 242 Powell at Union Square.

Then ...  The kiosks are a few paces ahead of the Stratford, in front of the store next to it.

... and Now,  the Stratford Hotel is still in business, but the phone kiosks, in front of the store now occupied by World Of Charms, have been removed.

 

Then ...  As Ross approaches the phone kiosk, we see Union Square ahead to the right across Geary and the St. Francis Hotel on the left.

... and Now,  still very familiar, including the cable car.

The phone kiosks were actually never there. They were fake. In his article in the San Francisco Chronicle from June 2, 1968 Frank Herbert describes how a pedestrian thought it was real and wanted to use it without success
