California becomes a state in 1850 and all these Roman Greek-like monolithic buildings pop up or were they already here and just discovered. First power tools invented in 1890s. No trucks to bring in tons of cement, marble, brick, concrete..., just horse and buggy!!! Where's the cranes to plop that dome?
I’ve been to Washington DC probably a dozen times and these are the same structures! Can anyone share video of these types of buildings being constructed?
The current San Francisco City Hall, known for its Beaux-Arts dome, was built between 1913 and 1915, and officially dedicated in 1915. It replaced the original City Hall (completed in 1899) which was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake. Designed by Arthur Brown Jr., it is located at 400 Van Ness Avenue.
- Construction Period: The current building was constructed rapidly in about two years following the 1906 disaster.
- Architectural Style: It is a renowned example of the City Beautiful movement, designed in the Beaux-Arts style.
- Original Structure: The first City Hall was built in 1871 on Larkin at Grove, but it was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire.
California becomes a state in 1850 and this church just allegedly pops up 22 years later in 1873; withstands 1906 earthquake; and still stands after 153 years. Doesn’t fit the timeline!
About a 4 feet high garage. Hmm?
Where’s this lookout SF natives and what's that tall building?
Haven’t been on BART in years!
