Lilli Ann

Lilli Ann was a clothing company that was started in San Francisco, California in 1934[1] by Adolph Schuman, and named for his wife Lillian. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, the company was known for its good workmanship and high-quality fabrics.

The former Lilli Ann building was at 2030 Harrison Street (at 17th Street) in the Mission District.[2] In 1986, local Chicano artist Jesus "Chuy" Campusano painted a large mural on the side of the Lilli Ann building. The mural was painted over in July 1998, which spurred community protests, and a lawsuit.[3][4]
