SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A mural featuring the face of an older Robin Williams will soon disappear from its home on Market Street.

ABC7 News found the mural fenced off, as construction crews break ground for a new downtown housing project between Sixth and Seven Streets.

The mural was painted in August 2018 around the fourth anniversary of his death.
