Denny, terrific job of sleuthing. I remain mystified, if a building was constructed on that site why it would be torn down? Costly to build and costly to remove unless it was damaged beyond use by fire.
I searched the aerial photo series amongst the OpenSFHIstory collection. From 6/27/1969, section 62 of 284 images shows the lot at the SW intersection of 25th & Noriega remains undeveloped at that time. You S.I. alums from that period will be curious to see the ’new campus’ that also appears in this image.

For anyone curious to browse that series of aerial photographs of San Francisco use the OpenSFHistory search window and type: ‘aerial photo 1969'
