Cellspace was a vibrant artists' space in a large warehouse on Bryant Street, between Mariposa and 19th Streets. It was founded in 1996 and lasted until the early 2010s. Then a developer finally bought out the building (including the adjacent space dedicated to the American Conservatory Theatre's props and costume storage) and the longtime San Francisco Auto Repair shop that uniquely held auto repair shops for beginners for many decades at the corner of Mariposa and Florida, and by 2020 had erected a massive 5-story apartment building on the site.
