Yes, the Camera Obscura is still there, along with the senior citizen center, though they have a somewhat newer building than this one.

Don’t know if it’s still there but the Giant Camera used to have a “Money Back Guaranteed if Not Amazed” sign.
Almost no one ever asked for it back.

I’m not sure about this specific Camera Obscura, but the one near the cliffhouse in San Francisco is certainly still there and fully functional: http://www.giantcamera.com/

I recently visited a Camera Obscura in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was very impressive to see this early “observation camera” which had a very clear picture.
