- Howdy ya’ll. Any of my viewers from the great state of California? Today I’d like to share with you over 125 unseen images of Old World San Francisco, California. This assortment of images will come to us from a slew of private collections I recently gained access to.
We are looking at only photographs that I have never seen presented elsewhere before. A truly unique collection. We will look at images of San Francisco from shortly after the Gold Rush of 1849 through the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the end of World War 2.
For your pleasure, I’ve divided the photographs, the first 15 minutes or so will be exclusively unseen and rare images of San Francisco BEFORE the great earthquake of 1906, starting with the Ohlone Shell Mounds of the Bay Area.
Many times finding quality photographs of San Francisco that haven’t been shared before, from before the earthquake, is difficult, but I’ve spent the last few weeks accumulating pictures, and I’m prepared to share them with you here today.
We will see countless domes, spires, antiquitech topped buildings, with stories, or floors, each 15 to 20 feet tall or more. We see symmetrical buildings, statues of the old World, wireless trolleys, and countless other details which lead us to more questions than answers. Today, let’s try and decipher this narrative together, let us take a look at the oldest, and rarest photographs of San Francisco, California. Please like, share, leave your thoughts down below, and Enjoy!

My grandfather was in the San Francisco earthquake and fire. He was in the army at Fort Baker when the earthquake struck and assisted in search and rescue operations as well as dynamiting structures to prevent the spread of the fire. He was 21 years old at the time and wrote a short account of his experiences in a short book about his early life. He kept a photo of the devastated city that was in the San Francisco Examiner. His name was Frank S. Merritt.
I’m 1906 your grandpa was 21?
'dynamiting structures to prevent the spread of the fire', there's an interesting video about this, and the naval bombardment.
Quite why stone buildings would burn, is another mystery!
@@00leaveralone She must be well into her 80s herself
@@jimmydee1130 That depends on how old her grandfather was when her father was born.
@@00leaveralone I'm only 41 and my grandpa was born in 1903, the youngest of 11 children..... his grandpa being 21 in 1906 is very possible and probable, I had great uncle's that were in there mid 20s when my grandpa was born in 1903.....
My heartfelt thanks for these photos. My family (on both sides) arrived in California in 1850 and 1860. My mother's mother arrived in San Francisco in 1902 from London (traveling alone). She was married a month before the earthquake in 1906. Mother was born 1909 and moved into her first home on Twin Peaks built by my grandfather. I was born in 1932 and lived in my grandparent's home for some years before moving to Sonoma County shortly after the beginning of World War II. I recognized many of the building from photos my grandparents had when I was a child. This was a city I loved as a child.
❤
It struck me how weathered some of the original buildings looked, like they had been there for many years.
I moved to SF in 1987, and was so overwhelmed with "deja vu" that I thought I had lived there in another lifetime! Some of these photos reminded me of this feeling, since I had had dreams as a child about the earthquake and the aftermath. I walked all over the city when I first moved there, and was astounded by the familiarity, and the way I was predicting what was around the corner as I walked. It is an amazing city. But the fact that the sacred shell mounds were destroyed is a tragedy. I feel we must learn from our past, and appreciate the incredible beauty, and wonder of all of our histories, whether we are native or immigrants. We should be sharing our successes and learning from our failures! Thanks to the artists who put this together.
I had a similar experience when I came to Austin Tx in 2017 . I remembered living the same moment up to 3 times with the same people, although some of them I had just met. I was able to predict the next moment, so would attempt to change it. I learned I can only change the moment if the end result was caused by me.
Your comment really hit a theme I've felt ever since visiting in 1971 and most years after until moving there myself in 1987 as well. The haunting feeling of passing from one era to another when travelling around town. Seeing the trolley tracks from mid 1800s , a real eye opener. This was an old town since much earlier than 1849
Oh! Please stop it
Tell it to your Shrink 😅
when I first started watching this video, one of the buildings reminded me of a dream I had worst dream I’ve ever ever had. I was stuck in like a loop and I know how but I had travelled time because I’ve actually was riding on old trolly and a modern bus I got off of it and I just couldn’t get out of whatever the loop was. I knew I was dreaming so I basically ended up trying to end my life in the dream I started diving on the concrete to break my neck as I knew, I would wake up as you usually do from falling or coming close to a death type situation. The buildings ready to start. I was like who I’ve been there before, and then realized where I was recognizing the scenery from. Definitely never been to San Francisco so I don’t know if it’s a past thing or there was buildings like that all over this continent, and I was somewhere similar in a past life
When I watch your videos, each time I mentally feel like I am transported to another world, another time in which I would like so much to live. Your choice of music is judicious for subject and that you present to us, I especially like how you go about presenting us your videos and your ideas. You allow you to travel at low blow every time. A short narrative for the introduction makes us want to watch your video, then your music blends perfectly the presents of your photos and images of the past. The way you make the transition between each of your images is impeccable sometimes you arrive from a photo that at first seems banal and have nothing special, but the fact of zooming gradually during the transition changes everything p, until giving it a living effect. Thank you for your work, the time and energy you put into it.
Please keep doing it as long as you can, it's a work of genius, artist and you have an incredible and unique talent.
You help us to evolve in this quest for truth and awareness.
I live in SF. It still has many glorious buildings. I've been doing alot of exploring lately and there is a lot of strange stuff going on--several areas with melted red brick one being adjacent to the Sutro baths and the Cliff house. I wonder why outer SF and down the coast was fairly barren until they did a massive tree planting with mostly blue gum eucalyptus and Monterey pine. SF has 5 golf courses--thats alot for 35 square miles. Btw there were 3 massive fires before 1906. I live in the southern part where it was mostly inhabited by Irish and Italian immigrants during the late 1800s to mid 1900s. There is a high school that they built out here for the poor Italian kids in 1927 called Balboa high school that is absolutely massive and gorgeous--likely one of the most impressive high schools on the west coast. It has mud flood windows and facades and a lot of very unnecessary decorations, massive archways, and a huge theater which stands at least 80 feet tall. Just kind of a weird thing to build out in what was a very rural part of SF for a bunch of poor immigrants.
Great video!!
The Mission district? Mud flood windows?
@@2degucitas excelsior, yes
I think my father graduated from Balboa high school. Would have been 1950. His family were poor Russian immigrants; he grew up on Potrero hill. I found in my mother’s stuff when she died, a small ceramic jar that survived the 1906 earthquake and fires, and a newspaper in German, from San Francisco, from later in 1906, that described the devastation. It had been sent to my great-grandfather in Germany, and they emigrated to San Francisco in about 1908.
Mission High School is another example
@@ycrgorski I think my mother graduated from Mission High School. Class of 1953.
I was born here in San Francisco to me these pictures show what I have been saying for a while now. There were Giants here. The evidence is overwhelming!! You can see it in some of the massive doorways still left and the architecture. The earthquake was intentionally created and was obviously aided by DEW weapons in the sky. It was a controlled demolition and looks much like the covered up DEW fires we see now in California such as paradise etc... the local baseball team is not called the San Francisco Giants by accident. We are being lied too! There is even a Chanel called San Francisco truth that shows San Francisco is a giant. Think about this- There is no way the buildings and infrastructure shown in your photos were built in a 30 year time span 1850 gold rush to 1880’s in your pics absolutely no way with hand tools and no electricity as well in 30 years???? I don’t think so!!! Anyway great video!
Always wondered why the team was called the GIANTS?
I think that you have been reading far too many comic books.
Don’t know this video is real, but Biltmore castle in NC was built in only 4 years in the 1800s. They were faster than you think.
@@kennixox262 You are an illogical clown.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It truly was a beautiful city before the earthquake. I have never seen any of these photographs before. Mostly all we ever get to see of old San Francisco was Market Street before and after.
An amazing retrospective, thank you! We moved to The City in 1959 when I was 9. Lived on the Presidio and hung out at Baker’s Beach. The sound of the fog horns lulled me sleep each night. When you visit remember it’s a concentrated walkable city. So sorry you didn’t visit 30 years ago or longer because of rampant homelessness and the loss of cultural diversity. Btw, in 1960 when one drove “down the Peninsula “ to San Jose one saw mostly orchards along the way. Blessings to you Jarid. ✌️
Barbara Eden also wrote about the foghorns when her parents took her with them by Ferry after they finished visiting her parents friends across the bay back to San Francisco in the evening in her autobiography.
I was born at S.F general yet i was raised in Hayward. I used to visit my father when he lived in the inner Sunset on the weekends.
I vividly remember those foghorns throughout the night. They were distant and haunting in the silence of night, yet something that i found contentment in. I also remember hearing the train horns blowing and the rumble of the cars as they rolled through on their tracks.
These things, the Sutro Bath ruins and the fog as it rolled in off of the hillside..
All still very nostalgic for me..
and this in spite of having no desire or intentions to return the city where i was born in the shape it is in today..
Its a disgrace to those immigrants who came and built the city
With a lot of hard work and investigative study we can learn a lot about history we would have never known. Thank You!
Agreed, my friend
It's bad enough that this city , like all too many other's, was completely destroyed, but why the whitewash you know? Also the worlds fair grounds of San Francisco. 1,500 buildings built, not just buildings, places a lot of them that would take us today at LEAST five years are said to have gone up in three years, three years, then when the fair was over boom gone except for three or four. And look at those, they were not built overnight to be temporary for a fair, that's how they destroyed the old world right in front of our ancestors face's. And believe me it is the same story for Buffalo, St. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore, even in Alaska was a city like that with a fair. The same time period and the same worlds fairs with elaborate ancient cities right here in America. Really enjoyed the video and your right I keep saying some awakening, seems like people went into a deeper sleep! 😉 The awakening I was expecting was people's eyes would open and start seeing what's been in front of us forever, like massive petrified trees from before the flood, everywhere, and a timeline that destroys the paradigm. I'm rambling, thanks
Love your ramble....thank you!
I wonder could witnessing all that intentional destruction have caused the need for all the "insane asylums" and the orphan trains?
From what I researched at our library and told by old craftsmen, they were built temporary for the fair. Literally plaster façades not meant to last. The Palace of Fine Arts was in deterioration lasting into the 1950s-early 60s, when groups came together to save it. It was NOT refurbished, it was completely taken down and built from the ground up to be permanent. What we have today is not what once stood. All the fair became underground rubble making the Marina/Cow Hollow districts landfill from Chestnut going north. Bay fill. So much of the rim of SF is bay fill. Earthquake fill too. My grandmother was 8. She said, she remember the dead horse carcasses. Living on a barge for 3 weeks, then to Sisters Of Mercy in Marin until family could be united a few months after. Also, the fire is what really took it down I was told by elders. And it was purposely done. SF was 70 years old at that time and all wooden. They took the opportunity to make her new. Those beautiful downtown buildings only looked like stone, but were all wood. No quarries here to get stone from. Today we're over a 120 years from the quake and this city is wayyy tooooo big now structurally. But that's an opinion of one born in 1954 and remember a city that was and is no longer.
@@pauljandreini5967 Very interesting. They tried to create a backfire and firebreaks with dynamite to keep the whole city from burning after fires burst out all over, and just made the situation worse. So to say it was purposely done omits the fact that the city was already ablaze and the inexpert firefighters didn't know what they were doing. Thanks for the family stories. I hope you wrote them down. It would make a good book. :) And thanks for the information on the fair buildings. I get so tired of all the conspiracy theories. It's a relief to see information from a rational human.
Oh like my BERLIN. Was also totally bombed. 24 hours. Our friends worked shiftwork. Us 12 and the empire...12...sad when city's are gone lots of love
I love San Fran so much. California in general -- when I’m thinking about it, or see something or hear music made in California, it feels like i‘am Back home. Tears running from my eyes by writing that. I have a location in my mind what it there since I can remember being interested in California, in San Fran-- in the south of the city, and a vision of I cute, tiny orange house -- and they do not left my mind. I was there- 100 procent. I love California so much. I don‘t know when and how exactly, jet, but: I was there. And my feelings about that region are very satisfying and nourishing. Thanks for giving my such a huge present.
They can destroy the Old World, but they cannot destroy the deepest DNA strings of our self where the Old World is saved-- deep deep down there. All of that here, is like Food to me. All of that Tears tell me that i‘am on the Path to get my forgotten Memories back. HALLELUJA!
Imagine being able to visit the early 1900's for a while.
As for the ornate and oversized architecture, San Francisco early on very consciously styled itself the "Paris of the West". The city was on the far end of the continent with not the most savory reputation given the rapidity of its growth during the gold rush. They hoped to attract monied interests and needed to create a city to rival New York and Chicago if they were to be successful.
Yes. After the quake they rushed to rebuild and had a world's fair with the notice given out to the world that they were open for business again so come visit (and spend money, and invest). Chicago did the same thing after their fire. Don't let anyone think you were dead or the money will dry up.
Love those buildings.. And the shops on the Bay. .We had snow in San Francisco. About 1074 I think.
Ships on the bay
This was such a grand city!
“ was, “ is sadly the key word….The City is no more…💔💔💔
14:12 That fountain is still there at the corner of Kearny and Market Sts. Every year on April 18, survivors of the '06 quake would gather there. Thanks Jarid, yes, SF has a rich history for such a young city. I hope you make it out here someday.
Except the destruction wasn't from the earthquake for the most part.
I grew up in the Bay Area. You really don’t want to visit SF. It’s turned into a cesspool. Used hypodermics laying In the street along with feces. Rampant homelessness and crime. It’s better not to meet your heroes.
That is Lotta's Fountain, named for a famous singer/actress of the period.
If you get it you get it, if you don't you weren't supposed to. Once again Jarid, jaw-dropping images.
I am a native & grew up in the bay area, Redwood City & San Jose. I live in LA area now. As we fight to save our state remembering how beautiful she was is a great inspiration. I do think that the value of craftsmanship and a wild west no building regulations attitude probably allowed those buildings to be part of an ego driven competition by developers there during the boom days of the gold rush. I remember going to the Cliff house museum and seeing Tom Thumb's wedding outfits for him and his wife when I was a kid in the 50's. I love your channel. Great pictures, I just want to step into the screen and ride the trolly. I hear Tony Bennett singing 'I left my heart in San Francisco 💔
Don’t tell me tartaria, I find most tartaria clowns don’t even realize what androvono culture is or what a indo European kurgan is,
My grandfather lost his shoe business located off of Market St in the 1906 quake and fires. His large Victorian home was up on Washington in Pacific Heights, it survived and is still there.
The Cliff house actually survived the earthquake and burned down the next year (1907).
SF is an amazing city! I would have loved to have seen it before 1906… thanks for sharing:)
Thank you! What a treat to see the city before the earthquake. My g. grandparents moved there sometime in the late 1870's, they were merchants. I enjoyed seeing the city as they must have seen it. They died before the quake, but my Uncles lived through it and are on the list of survivors, yes, I'm into genealogy. Thanks so much.
Jared, thanks for this amazing video. I am a native bay area guy (grew up in Napa Valley) and even after extensive travel to other parts of the country and world - can't imagine living anywhere else. I feel very fortunate that my parents moved me here from Michigan when I was just 6 months old! What I really enjoyed about this video were all the pics I had never seen before and especially seeing my beloved SF before the earthquake! It was like a completely different city - and I really loved the vibe of it. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great work - and come visit soon! You will be blown away - it's an amazing city and area!
Agreed man. The Bay Area is such a special place.
I would have loved to have explored SF in 1898 or so.. Looks like a different world entirely..
I was born in San Francisco. My parents, grand parents and great grand parents were born here as well. What I miss most of all about the
old city was the smells, the odors, fragrances of Hills Bros. Coffee down on the waterfront. The smell of chocolate at Ghirardelli's factory
at Aquatic Park. The smell of grease on the old diesel buses, and the smell of the leather sears on those old buses. They say odors bring
back memories like nothing else, and I think they're right
I grew up in SF in the 1950s, 60s. Thank you for this informative and revealing history and the wonderful photos.
Incredible photos, I had no idea of the the cities architecture before 1906, it was even more beautiful then now,I can see why it drew so many to its shore. Thank you for this exhibit. And educating us in history. Bill B.
I was born and raised in the city, too. Great collection of photographs. San Francisco is remarkable for its ability to be reimagined, and the recirculating of people moving to and leaving the city. I hope you get to visit soon.
Thank you. I'm a native California, born in Oakland but lived in San Francisco for decades
Love the City still in spite of it's problems. The most unique exciting beautiful city in America.
Very cool collection! To me what really sets San Francisco apart in the history books is that it basically sprang fully formed out of the landscape. There have been boom towns throughout history, but normally those complexities that make a city's culture truly unique take a long time to develop. In 1840 it was little more than an outpost. By 1880 it was a major city with all the unique diversity, sophistication and wildness that you'd expect from a world-class metropolis. And then it happened again in the first 20 years of the 20th century. There is not a single other city in the world like it.
You have to remember how much money the Roman Catholic Church has at its disposal, infinite money since they create it out of nothing using their "court jew" money changers (House of Rothschild etc.). They also have teams of masons and other specialists, who they send to cities they want to create, and the first thing they do is build huge Cathedrals to mind-control the masses, and all the other structures to support the mini-Babylon they are building.
Good points, people forget reading about the empire state Bldg 100 stories was built in 18 months 1928-31 along with the competing Chrysler Bldg and many more.
35-year resident; first I've seen of the shell mounds of SF, only knew of Emeryville's. Great compilation. Some of the buildings still stand: see Old Saint Mary's, the Mint, etc.
wonderful collection of photos showing the architectural styles that were popular around the world at that time
I grew up in the Bay Area and never knew of the shell mounds in San Francisco. Thank you for sharing that with us! Loved your video!!
I'm a native San Franciscan, age 72, and love to look at these old photos! As for why these late 19th century Buildings were so large and gradiose, that was the style then. During and after the goldrush, immense wealth poured into the City. Wealth that was probably not matched until the technology boom. They had to do something with all that money! So, they built....
Jarid, I thoroughly enjoyed your images of San Francisco prior to the earthquake and after the quake. The images are magnificent to
say the least. I was raised in San Francisco and never knew the history of the city prior to the earthquake. Thanks for letting me see what a beautiful city San Francisco was and is.
Wow! Am 78, grew up in San Fran, in a 1915 home with 10’ high ceilings. Still feels normal to me. But your photos of those pre-quake buildings... so tall, probably 15-20’ ceilings! They were richer then. Even with all the high-tech folks in the City now... no, nothing like the sheer wealth from the Sierras and the Comstock Lode that made those buildings possible. Thanks for this - I saved the picture of Sutro Baths, where I swam as a boy, only 10¢, before the polio outbreak in the 1950s.
The high ceilings were a big help before ac. New cities wanted to run with the big dogs so built to impress the rest of the world to come here and invest. That was especially true from Chicago and on west, wanting all the glitter, sophistication, and modern conveniences of the older cities to their east. Mark Twain recounted his trip to San Francisco and going back east. He arrived via a colorful but grueling stage coach and went back in luxury on the newly built train, marveling at the fast pace of technological change. In truth, all the modern devices and methods already existed in the US but hadn't yet reached out from the coasts to the center. He brought law books for his brother, thinking for some reason his brother couldn't get them in San Francisco, and found he had dragged them along for nothing because he could buy anything he could want there.
@@653j521 sorry! AC is not necessary in SF. We always took sweaters and jackets when we visited there from the South Bay where it was usually 10 degrees warmer. Folks in the Bay Area really don’t need AC. The weather is nice there all year round.
My great Grandpa operated a hot-dog stand around 5th and Market in 1906 during quake. Proceeds were sent back to Eastern Europe to help out folks in old country and to facilite the continuation of migration.
I appreciate your collection. I often look for photos and footage that isn’t common of SF. I’m a CA native who lives 60 miles from SF, but lived in SF and for some reason have been obsessed with the city since I was a child. I truly hope you are able to visit soon. California is a wonderland and SF is magnificent. I will never leave no matter how expensive. World wonders are here. I love my state 🌉🌇🖤 PS: the indigenous word is pronounced “Oh-lone-ee”.
Glad you have him the pronunciation of Ohlone. That hurt me to hear! 😉
@@debbiecowger4422 😬 he’s not local, but yes…I cringed 🥹. Long “e” at the end 😊
Oh-lawn……..lol yeah I bit my tongue too when I heard him say it
Thank you friend and fellow native and hello from Vallejo 💜💙 I feel the same they will have to blast me out of here with dynamite ✨ never leaving The Bay😂 thank you for correcting their pronunciation I did the same 😉💙💜✌️
Have you been to SF recently? Even back in the 1970's it was like the Twilight Zone to me, when I visited from Marin - just across the Golden Gate bridge (which is actually orange = 33). Gay men were openly kissing and groping, smoking marijuana, while cops walked around ignoring it. In the rest of the state marijuana was like heroin or cocaine or speed - hated by law enforcement and users persecuted ruthlessly. But not in SF, it's been a psychological operation ever since. At this point SF is an open-air psychiatric prison and cesspit, you obviously haven't been there recently............?
Quite the place. A fantasy of architecture. Nice job overall.
There's some really interesting stuff here in San Antonio. There's an aqueduct that runs over 7 miles supposed to have been dug by Spaniards and Indians in the 1700's. It still works. I'm gonna try to get a close look at the old courthouse and cathedral.
Yes you must. I'm looking everywhere in my local area near Manchester UK it's all the same set up same style buildings that remain.
Google and Wiki are actually fascinating with their versions on events in most cases always a fire or removed from lack of use or repurposed by some generous freemason yet brutalised to end result.
We are now seeing and hearing of park bandstands being ancient tunnel entrances they've tried to hide.
That hearths didn't have fire use but now looking like energy resonance use from towers, domes, receivers from large houses and water always seems to come into play.
Large old country estates same designs with domes, circular fountains to the front and now seeing churches or chapels attached.
Now thinking every freemason who knew the secrets of free energy, water and warmth on these estates needed this set up.
Hence why in cities the masses would go to the then healing centres that now call themselves organised religion churches.
Just trying to figure out from the aussie Tartarian Truthers here the way energy got into houses to benefit.
Yesterday on a big estate I saw the usual domes and spires chimneys with bricks missing was this for energy?
Another lady said her grandmother in Croatia told her a story of going to " church" to collect a metal rod from a hole in the floor and returning to her home and placing the metal rod into a hole in the hearth???
What did this do?
Collect the healing resonce? Keep the house warm?
Still trying to figure some answers there?
Maybe someone here has made some observations as the set up is worldwide.
Thank you for brilliant video.
All things seem to lead to free energy.😇😁
Like aquaculture construction is digging ditches!
Laughable lies.
@@jamessones4044 Ok smartass. Let's see you dig it, lay the stones and keep it almost level for 7 miles. With a donkey, shovel and picks. In fact, have you ever done any manual labor at all? Probably plan it with cad under an air conditioner and wonder why it doesn't work in the real world...
@@MountainDivine I always wonder how they heat the big buildings without chimneys , humm
Where about specifically if you don’t mind?? I live nearby and I’m trying to check it out
The architecture in San Francisco and Los Angeles around the turn of the previous century was beautiful, at least we can marvel at the pictures.
As a 4th generation San Franciscan .......... I thank you, and simple state you must come to the city which you have so lovingly shared with the world.
My great grandfather and great grandmother lived in San Francisco when the earth quake and fire happened. They were always skeptical of the official story. My great grandmother told me the earthquake was gnarly but it sounded like bombs were going off all over the city. I think they were told gas line explosions. They also told me of the splendor of the city and always wondered why they built it back so plain. My great grandfather did help build the Golden Gate and bay bridges. The not so old world fascinates me, it’s either we lost our spark or never had it.
A lot of the old world style of architecture, cornices, unreinforced brick buildings were not used as much after the quake due to the failure in 1906. Prior to that event, there was no allowances for seismic considerations on buildings and not until after the 1933 Long Beach quake did California really start to put together the requirement for seismic building codes. Even after the 1971 Sylmar quake codes had to be updated after a modern hospital open only for one month prior to the quake partly collapsed and more changes to codes after the 1993 Kobe quake and 1994 Northridge quake. After the next major California quake and there will be one somewhere, discoveries of why buildings failed will result in even more changes. The main issue is older buildings that have not been retrofitted, demolished and replaced. A lot of those new mansions in the Hollywood Hills will most definitely not move at all in the next major quake as they use very deep caissons drilled deep into bedrock that will prevent major damage.
@@kennixox262 Thank you for science and sense!
The gas lines all blew at the connector to peoples homes. That's why there was so much fire. Oh brother, crowdsourcing San Francisco history is not appropriate.
Yes, they were gas explosions. No conspiracy here.
@@californianorma876 ahh I don’t claim to know shit but that makes sense why my great grand said it sounded like bombs she told me it just leveled the place.
My mom was stationed in San Francisco during WWII. She was a Naval WAVE Officer at the highest rank a woman could attain at the time. A Lt JG. She worked in the old Ironside building where the popular show by that name was filmed or at least shown as... She did code breaking THE USS INDIANAPOLIS Officers were invited to a party at the apartment she and 5 other female officers shared. It was the night before they deployed with top secret cargo ending up as half of the atomic bomb. She was still there when the war ended. VJ day she said was quite a ruckus. Someone knocked her favorite uniform cap off and she never found it. She said she would haunt them lol.
I've lived in San Francisco for the past 17 years and these photos are blowing my mind. i really want to learn more about the arch at 13:59. Seeing all these photos has really inspired me to want to get out and take a bunch of modern black and white photos of my favorite spots in the city to see how they compare. Large entry ways is still a part of the building style in San Francisco... The ultra modern (and recently built) Apple store has 20 ft. Tall sliding glass doors for example.
The arch was the Market Street Gate. Believe it or not, it was a temporary structure built for the 1886 reunion of Civil War soldiers who fought and won on the Union side. If you look closely, you’ll the soldiers parading under the triumphal arch and the words above “The Union Forever.”
Born in SF in 1948 and my grandmother in 1867 (but my mom was born in Napa). Love to see old clips! Thanks for sharing.
With all these detailed photographs of San Francisco, before the earthquake. Why on earth, has there not been a large budget film about this tragic 1906 event . This event is way larger than the sinking of the Titanic. James Cameron needs to bring this story to the big screen. The city of San Francisco could brought to life, in all it's glory in high definition and in color. I'm sure he could recreate the earthquake in incredible detail. Everyone loves a good disaster movie.
Hello. I am a San Francisco native, born and raised. I love my city. I've lived in London, Paris, Hong Kong, but San Francisco will always be home, there's no place like it in the world. I thoroughly enjoyed your video, enough so that I became a subscriber, and very soon hopefully a sponsor. I have an immense library dedicated to San Francisco's past, and present. When you do make it out here I'd love to show you around, some of my favorite places in the city, as well as some of the unsolicited sites usually known only to locals. Thank you for a great entertaining video.
This and NASS are my two favorite American history channels. These pictures and videos are sort of like traveling back in time. Every single individual in every one of these pictures are long gone. Makes you realize you better get out and enjoy the world while you can.
So I recall a Jon Levi clip from aboutv 3 yrs ago and there was a private photo and I'm thinking it was this same parade but there was handwriting on it and it said the THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR parade on MARKET STREET in If I remember right 1884 so it was straight up called KNIGHTS TEMPLAR not KNIGHTS HONOR parade,which blew my mind back then!!
My mother's family were SF pioneers
This video is awesome
Thank you!
I was also raised in San Francisco. One wonderful prior 1906 that was left out is Nob Hill and the huge Stanford, Flood and Mark Hopkins mansions. They were bombed to stop the 1906 fire. Those people built San Francisco. San Francisco became great due to the Comstock Lode in Virginia City Nevada. Wonderful video.
Thanks for stating my point. So much wealth from all the gold. And perhaps they wanted to compete with old Europe in their architecture.
There were a lot of companies that made iron facades for buildings in the late 1800s that were incorporated in cities all over the U.S. We think these are really beautiful and unique today, but they were really common and a standard building material of the time.
Minute 14:37, checkout that storefront!
The dude Alistair Pilkington didn't invent float glass until 1959. How in the fuck did they create thousands upon thousands upon thousands of square feet of distortion free, ultra flat, non breaking single panels of window glass? How? We didn't
Wow… Thank you so much for sharing… You are a gentleman and a scholar and yet also humble and focused on what you are sharing with us… I am a San Francisco native, and I’ve seen a lot of documentaries about old San Francisco, but I have never seen these images before or this focus and historical context thank you so much!
Loving your videos more and more mate. The images you find are amazing, and your open mind to all possibilities, makes it very fun to explore with you.
A beautiful homage to the City I love. St.Marys in Chinatown looks the same as does Sts Peter and Paul. Most of Market st. And the band shell in Golden Gate park. Lotta's fountain.... It is indeed a magical city.
My mom was born in 1926, and she used to say that when she was about 3 years old she would climb up on the stage at the G.G.P. bandshell while her father conducted his band concerts.
I love old world documentaries, I find it facinating how advanced and spectacular the buildings and infrastructure was
I’m a native San Franciscan and never heard of the shell mounds. What a shame they were destroyed.
Imagine what all the mercury leeching from those shell mounds was doing to the environment. Let's not romanticize these ancient landfills. It was their trash.
One shell mound still exists. It’s on Oakland near the Berkeley border. Right by the shore.
@@o.h.w.6638 Wish I could see picture of it.
Me too, and I agree with you.
@@daveadalian4116 really? Mercury leeching from seashells??
What a great collection of photos. Enjoyed it, thanks. I lived there for most of my life. A couple small points: Fort Point, the Civil War era 'star fort' is still there... And Ohlone is pronounce Oh-LOW-nee.
What magnificent architectures, thankyou for this beautiful compilation, going on my Epic playlist. Beautiful music.
Ohlone pronounced OH-LOW-NEE. Great video. *Liked* *Subscribed* I've never seen an earthquake wreak such havoc on structures as did the 1906 earthquake. It looks more like nuclear devastation. I just don't think an earthquake of that magnitude could do that kind of damage. I think the earthquake was an excuse to get rid of all the antiquitech and the Tartarian style buildings that were literally everywhere.
Thank you! Good video but this mispronunciation just kills me!
Is that what you think, funny how this exact style already existed in Europe, the problem with you tartaria people is you gauge civilization on architecture alone, they photographed these buildings made a digital image of them but couldn’t build them? Give me a break, Americans are so uneducated they don’t even realize dna evidence has proven Europeans literally came from Central Asia which would of been tartaria, hence androvono culture and indo European migration, which would make the colonial people the original tartars
The fires destroyed most of downtown, after the quake.
@@drunolan5656 That's common knowledge but how does any fire burn brick and granite structures to their foundations so completely as to resemble the aftermath of a nuclear explosion?
@@FrankLee-qd3hy depends on location. Large areas were dynamited to prevent the fire from spreading.
Fires can lead to a structure collapsing as well.
I love San Francisco. I give a really good history tour.
One thing you didn't touch on is the fire wasn't just a fire. The fire chief was injured in the quake. His 2nd was incompetent. So the firefighting was deferred to the commandant of the presidio who assigned his munitions manager to the task. He thought it was best to fight fire with fire and blew up buildings. This actually created more fires.
@Michael Smith planned and engineered to read a certain way in the books
The city was truly magnificent. Thank you for showing us these images.
San Francisco of yesteryear, when she was booming and when peoples cared about her. Loved the pictures. She was home for half my life, but the city I love is now gone, unrecognizable and ruined by relentless, city-wide crime, untreated mental illnesses, opioid addiction, widespread homelessness and utter filth. There is human feces all over the down town areas, not to mention 1000s of uncapped, blood tinged needles and syringes found all over the city. I've never seen anything like it anywere in my life. Not in London, New York, Barcelona, Tel Aviv or Montreal. What's going on in SF is literally jaw dropping. Forget natural disasters like earthquakes and AIDS. Leaders and thier bad decissions have done more to ruin my once gorgoeus city than any natural disaster. San Francisco is lost, in shambles, and local politicians must stop blaming the COVID 19 epidemicfor all of their short comings. I see other cities bouncing back quite nicely so stop the excusses and do something, you awful politicians! Do something that will restore urban balance, health and life back to the residents of our once fair city. Just how much lower can she descend?
Beautiful buildings
Gosh, some of these designs are absolutely breathtaking. Love the channel Jarid!
Those old tall doorways you mentioned can be seen still in Old Sacramento. They were lucky enough to not have torn down the oldest part of town in the 50s and60s. It is a time capsule from the pre-earthquake days of San Fransisco.
Love looking around old California when I get a chance ! Grew up in So Cal -
Tall windows and doors were common in the days before A/C was common. High ceilings let warm air rise where it flowed out through the tops of windows. That’s also why many doors and windows had transoms at their tops.
My grandfather and his mother were in the quake. He was a teenager. They lived on California street. After the quake, they lived in Golden Gate Park for six months in a tent.
Good music selection. I hate the weird modern stuff that is hard on the nerves and interferes with concentration when looking at photos and illustrations.
I worked under the city just over 15 years ago, installing parts of the backup electrical generation systems for a couple of locations. In our current levels of engineering and construction, I find it difficult to believe that the current civilization had any part in building all of that infrastructure already in place. Side note: Ohlone is pronounced "oh low nee." Great video!
It's not difficult to believe at all. Human beings have always been clever and knew how to build. There were no supermen building that city. Humans did it. And denying it denigrates the human race.
@@SymphonyBrahms It's silly if you're implying that I don't think humans built it. It just makes sense to me that it's possible that there could be a separation between the current group, and a previous group.
@@briancrumpacker My grandparents and great-grands grew up in those times. Two were in construction. They weren't giants, they weren't supermen, but they were VERY good at what they did using the tools of the time. They didn't have computers but they had steam-powered heavy equipment and very precise tools for their work. I'm still using some of their hand tools in my shop. We simply don't give our immediate ancestors credit for what they could accomplish.
Native SF’er here… Nice to see the few buildings that survived the Quake and Fire! Sorry to miss images of the few Arts and Crafts buildings that were being built at the time of the Q and F! So little did survive… amazing! Thanks so much for the research and uploading. (Sorry the non-standard pronunciation of Ohlone was used! Hope you have visited SF since the upload! You’d make a great tour guide to what remains today of the pre Q&F!!
Watch UAPs and Conspiracy r us videoson The San Francisco 1906 "quake". The military blew up 27000 buildings to fight The fires. NO deliberate demolishion.

Thank you so much for these remarkable images. I haven’t been back to San Francisco in maybe fourteen years I spent my professional career there in the late 1980’s up until about ten years ago. For me, living in San Francisco was as Heaven on earth. Everywhere I’d go was architecturally significant and amazingly beautiful. I literally bed in a restored landmark building, worked in the heart of t(e Financial district, my office window looking king out up up California St toward the bay. I travelled most weekends across the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge to hike Dow the cliffs on the far side, down to a secluded nude beach called Land,s End where we bathed in the sun and salt air looking back to the skyline of this beloved city. Your presentation brought back so many memories of events and visual and inspirations that shaped my life and impact it even today. Thank youThank you so much for these remarkable images.

If it was an earthquake, nearby towns and cities would have experienced similar
And so they did. All the towns surrounding San Francisco had massive destruction and the San Andreas fault ruptured far to the north.
@@davidcarlson3813 the "big one" already happened. Damn. Were people lobbing dynamite around and blowing stuff up in other cities?...
@@davidcarlson3813 Mare Island. So many brickers were undamaged.
Also the megalithic granite dry docks with the foundations at least 50 feet below sea level. They dynamited SF
Hahaha!! Why wouldn't you take 2 seconds to educate yourself if you have questions? The cynicism is mind numbing.
Dynamite was a thing. There were factories in the area. In order to create a fire break homes were blown up....sometimes creating more fires. There were also cisterns...that had not been kept filled. The fire chief had begged the city for funding to train his men in proper use of dynamite and to fill the cisterns....but like many local officials they didn't listen. The chief was injured in the quake and died the next day. The story is recorded and chronicled in many many duplicate forms. It all matches up. Crazy, huh?
San Francisco went from a small fishing village in 1840 to a major port town in a matter of decades following the gold rush, then silver... ongoing to tech today. Because it was such a new but very rich city, it was deliberately modeled on a grand European architectural aesthetic. It was about a young insecure newly very rich town establishing itself to the world. Even after the 06fire and earthquake, the city was beautifully rebuilt due to the vast gold deposits and money in general. It’s an enchanting place to call home.
Thank's for this great video of old San Francisco. I can't get over how beautiful the pre-quake city was. Those buildings would be worthy of any European capital, and if it weren't for the typical N. American 'highrises', you could be forgiven for mistaking it for somewhere in Europe. At the very least, the city's fathers obviously wanted to compete with New York or Chicago for greatness. Incidentally, that beautiful early domed skyscraper that appears prominently in many photos of the city's devastated skyline was known as the 'Call Building' and amazingly, survived the quake in relatively good shape. However, in the subsequent fire, a building adjacent to the 'Call' (the Winchester Hotel) caught fire. Flames from the burning hotel lept across to lower levels of the 'Call', and soon after, this early skyscraper literally became an early 'Towering Inferno'. As the blaze progressed upward floor by floor, flames could eventually even be seen licking from the small decorative windows set into its ornate dome. In any other place or time, a building of this height and stature ablaze would have been remembered, even today, as a significant event in itself, but it simply paled next to the enormity of the citywide disaster that unfolded. The gutted building was eventually repaired and still exists today, though you'd be hard pressed to recognize it. In the late 1930's the dome was removed, six stories were added to it, and it was completely resheathed and given a very 20th century art deco makeover and today is called 'Central Tower'. Your passion for history, cities and architecture shines through in your work, and I have no doubt you will see San Francisco some day soon!
I live in San Francisco and these Pictures are Absolutely Wonderful! Best Collection I have ever seen. The Whole Package- tempo,timing and Music put together beautifully. Well Done!!
No one would ever believe in the sheer extent of this stuff. Superb compilation Jarid my man.
Terrific images I've never seen …Thank you for posting this- more please!
Beautiful pictures, beautiful music.
Even though 20 ft. ceilings are a waste of space, I love them. They give a sense of grandeur.
Had the chance to visit SF in April 1979. Beautiful! The architecture before the quake was so unusual, amazing buildings almost some look like buildings in Paris, others a take on Greek style. It seemed a combination of styles that was American. Sorry to here about the mounds.
Ever watch the 1930s film “San Francisco” starring Clark Gable? I think it was filmed just 30 years after the quake, depicts the raging earthquake. Mother Nature makes you feel so small when she begins to move the earth under you.
My great grandmother survived the 1906 earthquake. We lived in Northern California when I was growing up, and she would never go back to San Francisco. She never once stepped foot in the city again for the rest of her life. She told me about something that happened right in front of her and it sounds horrifying. She was only a child when it happened.
@Michael Smith A horse and carriage full of people (and some standing on the sidewalk) - she said a giant crack opened up and everyone fell in; and then the crack closed up (not all the way) but most of them were smashed.
She had said she was on Market St. She told me this when I was a teenager.
@Michael Smith no I actually don't know for sure where on Market street. I hope you enjoy your trip to SF! Should be interesting :)
I recently retired with over 44 years in disaster and emergency management. I am a native Californian and have studied this particular period of California history, have been to San Francisco and surrounding areas multiple times, and looked at the construction of said buildings. Facts: The Great Quake of 1906 didn't level the city, it brought down those buildings that had unreinforced masonry. The Fire Chief was killed in the earthquake, the water systems broke in the quake and pumping stations failed thus leading to many fires. Demolition experts blew up buildings trying to stop the spread of fire but instead created worse fires. San Francisco recovered quickly due in part to aid coming up from Southern California via ships and trains. A great book: History of Disasters in California 1800-1900 is also an eye opener. The next disaster in California is water! There is not enough water reserves to support the population if another Great Quake happens.
What a beautiful city it was pre-1906. The diverse architecture makes modern glass and steel buildings look unimaginitive (albeit practical, safe and cheap).
A great many middle class homes that survived the fire, were turned in to flats, the ceilings were lowered as on the main floor 14 feet were not uncommon, gardens became a new kitchen wing , the basement still used for the service ie the help, In the 1920s many homes converted the front garden if possible and the old staff rooms to a garage, not uncommon to see a fireplace in a basement parking area
Excellent collection! I learned new facts about the shell mounds from this video. I recognize some spots that you didn't label, and there were some chronological inconsistencies. You might want to note that the Cliff house burned down in 1907, and not from the 1906 earthquake/fire. Some of the images are of the Panama-Pacific Exposition of 1915, specifically, the Tower of Jewels. A few others looked very much like fair structures, but I can't be sure. Those structures were made to be temporary and most of them were torn down after the fair was over. Only the Palace of Fine Arts remains. So although they technically existed in San Francisco, it was only over a period of 9 months. The architect who designed most of the 1871 city hall was Augustus Laver, but the plan was altered by 6 other architects before its completion. Some of the other buildings pictured are less obvious to reference, but it's a start if you wonder who designed pre-1906 San Francisco. The structure at 25:54 is the old De Young museum in GG park. Let me know if you want me to identify anything else. I have lived in SF for 28 years and am an amateur historian. This is a very informative video. ruclips.net/video/cw7FzcqRXqE/видео.html
Tower of Jewels was amazing building ,but not temporary. Just look up some temporary buildings today, basic frame with cover. Nobody builds this kind of mesmerizing ,expensive structures just to be destroyed soon after. Somehow the Palace if Fine Arts build at the same time as a temporary building is standing today. Not so temporary after all
You May want to look more deeply at these supposed “temporary buildings “ of the world fairs…many alternative theories out there. Expand your history beyond the mainstream and you are more likely to stumble on the truth.
I hear you about the non temporary structures for sure. Jon Levi's videos on the world fairs, especially Chicago, really blew my mind. Thanks for pointing that out.
There is nothing temporary about the Palace of Fine Arts. It’s time to wake up to the fact that the history that we were taught is full of lies. Research who established public education in the USA. Public education that has deceived the youth of our nation. He is described as a philanthropist. I have another name for him.
@@cicerobg Palace of Fine Arts was originally just plaster and wood.. It had to be entirely reconstructed or it would have utterly deteriorated decades ago.
as far as the large entrances, you have to consider this is before electricity, and they would want to maximize daylight for interior lighting
People are happy to forget and those forgotten are grateful for historians like yourself. San Francisco's giant past is hinted at and for obvious reasons will not be forgotten. When new meets old there is an inherent risk of exclusion, by both parties toward each other. A risk that bare a wicked backlash
Mind you, we're still here.
What I find amazing is all the signage for the different business, Threads & Twines, Cigars, Neck Tie Factory, Carraige Repository, Boot & Shoe, Wholesale Groceries, Glove Manufg. Co and so on, to many to name them all. Now I know why I don't like places like Walmart. I think the tall room/floors in large buildings could have allowed for taller windows for more light and also for air circulation as this is all pre-AC, there must have been large transom widows above every doorway. San Francisco is one the west coast GEMs but is so mismanaged that it's going into a state of ruin. This was another "Historical" watch.
Correct, light, air is the reason for the tall first floors of many of these commercial buildings. Even modern buildings globally do that today.
@@kennixox262 I read that people who have old homes open part at the top of the window and part at the bottom to let cool air in and hot air out. They used that in the early days instead of ceiling fans.
Awesome collection of pics dude! San Francisco is definitely one of my favs with old world buildings.
Seriously beautiful city
Wow, terrific collection of vintage images and really well edited/presented. ♥
Amazing, the architecture pre earthquake is spectacular and yes the scale!! Also when you said the bit about how this was your personal collection from you to us. Well thank you very much this is defiantly a gem and I’ll sub to your channel.
I have to agree on the large people. that helps explain the reason for burning all the buildings across the world. keep em coming bro. I really dig your content.
large people would make building cities so grand an easy thing. Not built by little people.
I have the best side gig in the world - I lead cultural, historical walking tours in San Francisco. I was surprised and touched by hearing you didn't live here in the City. Your fascination with the history and how you put thought into each photograph led me to think that you lived here. Like many Californian's, San Franciscan's specifically, I ran away from home to the West Coast where I came to see that, all along, this is where and this is what the Universe had been preparing me for the whole time. I want to extend an invitation to you to come out and explore it - I'll treat you to some walks across old - school San Francisco and where the buried ships still remain under downtown. My interests go back as far as almost 20,000 years ago. I have evidence that support the theory that ancient people occupied the northern peninsula (the City and County of San Francisco) much further back in time than.
We might even get lucky and find that pesky Apocalypse thing hiding around the corner. lol Seriously, let me know when you make plans! Thank you for your work.
Peace,
Chet
Breath taking work Jarid!
Just WoW these photographs
STUNNING ! My home town… I had no idea how beautifully developed it was before the quake. The sheer magnitude and scope. (No pun intended) Honestly, it looks like Europe but maybe better ! Bravo 👏🏼 Great compilation ! I am sharing with everyone.
I think older & better than Europe!!!
Well the immigrants did build most of it
The whole idea is that stuff was here before any explorers got here..
@@GotstandardsDiamondNedFlanders theres certainly an argument to be made that in the least, the official narrative is off.
In 1845 they say that there were only 40 or 50 wooden shacks and structures here. Which indicates that in a period of 30 years (if we use the Muybridge panoramic as our reference), a completely built out, sprawling urban metropolis, complete with sewers, cobble and brick paved roads with concrete sidewalks, curb and gutters, an extensive cable car system, cathedrals and churches as well as rows and rows of impeccably designed and constructed old world brick and concrete buildings.. seems to almost magically appear.
The weathered and ancient patina that is visible on most of the structures, making them appear a hundred or more years old, this aside, we are left to believe that during the time period when several other major cities across the U.S were simultaneously being built up in a similar fashion, a time prior to the area being connected to the railroad lines, during the gold rush, during the civil war, without access to hydraulic earth moving equipment, power tools or an efficient supply chain for the massive amounts of raw materials it would require to build as much as was built... a bunch of mormon pioneers, cowboys and fur traders, chinese immigrants and gold miners came, surveyed and perfectly laid out and constructed such a massive, extensive and glorious metropolis..
Its hard to just accept this narrative taken at face value.
Just excavating the hard clay soil for the sewers and foundations would have proven difficult with pick axes and shovels..
I thought everybody was off mining for gold, fighting in the civil war or building the railroad or one of the several other cities that were being built. Where did all these skilled craftsmen, laborers and artisans come from? What about the materials ? It seems like creating the massive amounts of brick and concrete that it took would have been a feat unto itself.
This was a wild western frontier town .. log cabins and corrugated metal shanties is what one would expect to see here..
But we see a glorious, classically designed Greco-Roman metropolis.. that certainly appears much older and established than a mere 30 years.
Something just seems off about the narrative we are presented with.
best alternative channel on youtube !!!
I love the film of San Francisco that they were able to determine was filmed a day or two before the earthquake/fire.
Nothing but love bro. Been here since the early days and a massive hells yes on this show. Rad of you to share and I agree. Haven't seen a number of these; anywhere. Good job, keep it up homey. :)
