San Francisco



The Tonga Room can be seen at the left.  

1954, View of Coit Tower, San Francisco.  Thanks to Paul Ayers.  I have this gnawing memory of Dad parking in the Coit Tower parking lot on our first night in San Francisco before he got a hotel for all of us.  This was when Dad still had the light blue 1964 Ford station wagon and we were all packed into the Ford and I just happened to wake up in the middle of the night to see the lights on the Coit Tower.  It was a fond memory because we were in San Francisco, we were together with Dad at the helm. 

1906, North Shore Rwy. electric locomotive, "Electra" clears earthquake debris at the intersection of Market and Battery Sts., San Francisco, CA, ca. April 1906; at right is the Mechanics Monument [aka Donahue Monument]. The Electra served with the Pacific Electric from 1917-1952 when it was donated to LA Travel Town Museum; it remains there today. Additional material in the comments.  Thanks to Paul Ayers

1900, View of Cliff House and the Golden Gate from Ocean Beach, San Francisco, CA, ca. 1900.  Thank you to Paul Ayers.
