Peoples Temple in San Francisco, Religious organization building on Geary Boulevard, San Francisco, United States

The Peoples Temple facility at 1859 Geary Boulevard served as a central gathering space for religious services and community activities in San Francisco.

The structure became the headquarters for Reverend Jim Jones and his congregation in 1972, operating until the organization relocated to Guyana in 1977.

Members engaged in communal activities, shared resources, and participated in political campaigns while operating from this San Francisco location.

The building, purchased for $122,500, functioned as both a religious center and a base for the organization's social service programs.

The Temple distributed their newspaper, Peoples Forum, from this location while maintaining connections with local political figures and media outlets.
