Quaker school buys ‘San Francisco icon'

From today's Examiner, the bright yellow building which housed Levi Strauss until 2002 has been purchased by a private school.

"The historic yellow Levi Strauss & Co. building on Valencia Street, one of the most visible symbols of The City's rich textiles history, has been purchased by the San Francisco Friends School. The Friends School, the Bay Area's only Quaker school, plans to occupy the 1906 wooden building by the fall of 2008."

With the recent news of families leaving town due to poor schooling, perhaps this will help out, if only a little bit.
