EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Market Street in San Francisco, circa 1910. The iconic Call Building stands tall on the left, a testament to its survival of the devastating 1906 earthquake that shook the city. Designed by renowned local architects James and Merritt Reid, along with bridge engineer Charles Strobe, this eighteen-story skyscraper was a true marvel of its time – not only San Francisco's first skyscraper but also the tallest building west of Chicago. The image captures a vibrant cityscape filled with activity. Crowded streets are lined with cars and trams, transporting people through their daily routines. The elevated view showcases the impressive architecture and development taking place in this thriving metropolis. As sunlight casts shadows across Market Street, we get a glimpse into everyday life during this era. Incidental people go about their business on footpaths while smoke billows from chimneys above them. The Spreckels Building can be seen further down the street, adding to the architectural diversity of this urban landscape. This archival photograph is not just an exquisite piece of art; it serves as a portal into history – reminding us of San Francisco's resilience and progress over time. It encapsulates an era when transportation was evolving rapidly alongside ambitious construction projects like the Call Building – shaping cities like never before.
