Bullitt - Hall Of Justice
At the the Hall Of Justice Chalmers confronts Bullitt over the death of his State's witness Johnny Ross. They are then alerted to a message just in, a shocker revealing that the dead man wasn't Ross at all - he was a car salesman from Chicago by the name of Albert Renick (Felice Orlandi) who had been set up by the real Ross to take the heat of his pursuers. What's more, the murder victim at the Thunderbolt Hotel was Renick's wife, killed by Ross to keep her quiet.
Then ... The confrontation takes place at the ambulance entrance on Harriet Street near Ahern Way on the east side of the Hall Of Justice (map). The I-80 flyover crossing 6th Street is seen behind Chalmers.
Below is the Hall of Justice, at 850 Bryant Street between 6th and 7th Streets. This view of the drab concrete structure looks west along Bryant Street from 6th Street. It was built in the early 1960s to replace its predecessor which used to be at Portsmouth Square. You can see the old Hall Of Justice here in a scene from the 1958 movie The Lineup.

You are really sharp! I can see you did a lot of work putting these comparison shots together. I grew up in San Francisco. My dad and grandmother used to shop at the Bonus Bargain Food Center at Bayshore and Marin Street and while she was in the store, Pop and I would have the car washed. Sometimes, he would let me sit in the car as it went through.
I wonder who the guy with the badge is in the background in frame one is? He's not SFPD. They always wore complete dark blue uniforms. Do you think he was a guard working security for the production that accidentally got caught in the frame?
