My husband says the tall building is the ferry terminal - and that it
still exists today, having also survived the 1980's earthquake that
conveniently ruined an expressway that had been constructed right in
front of it.

the end of
the street/film is? (Just a curious German who's never been to the
states...)
Best wishes, Christiane

Betreff: [lace-chat] Video of San Francisco in 1906
A friend sent me this
link to one of the most amazing pieces of film I've ever
come across. It's
best viewed full-screen; there is no sound, of course.

Film footage of
San Francisco's Market Street from a moving cable car, before
the 1906
earthquake and fire. The footage was filmed only days before the quake
and
shipped by train to NY for processing. This is truly a historical film
record.
