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.

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.

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 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.

It struck me how weathered some of the original buildings looked, like they had been there for many years.

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. ✌️

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.

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

With a lot of hard work and investigative study we can learn a lot about history we would have never known. Thank You!

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Quite the place. A fantasy of architecture. Nice job overall.

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!

My mother's family were SF pioneers This video is awesome Thank you!

If you get it you get it, if you don't you weren't supposed to. Once again Jarid, jaw-dropping images.

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:)

This was such a grand city!

I grew up in SF in the 1950s, 60s. Thank you for this informative and revealing history and the wonderful photos.

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.

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!

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

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!!

You will love San Francisco when you get there! There is no place like it on the planet. Your photos are amazing and show how much architectural style we have lost. SF prior to 1906 looked like Paris of the same period. Both, in my mind are sacred places.

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.

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.

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.

Imagine being able to visit the early 1900's for a while.

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.

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.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

wonderful collection of photos showing the architectural styles that were popular around the world at that time

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.

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.

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”.

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.

best alternative channel on youtube !!!

Love those buildings.. And the shops on the Bay. .We had snow in San Francisco. About 1074 I think.

Beautiful I'm from Chicago originally and came to Northern California in 1970... when we landed and I saw the beautiful hillsides and the peninsula I was so enamored. We rented a car as our belongings had not arrived YET or cars and ehikeyhe was in business meetings I drove to the City and up the hills and key locations and then across the GOLDEN Gate bridge myself San Francisco is steeped in history 49 er time and so MUCH more. It's beyond sad what's been happening to this beautiful City in 7 hills but THIS will pass, It will refurnish eventually. Thank you for sharing your visuals of San Francisco Warmly writing on Roshandra

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.

Ohlone .... OH - LOAN - EE Super cool video! Keep making them!

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.

I'm a native Californian. I'm 72 years old, born in Los Angeles in 1951. Watch the movie, "I Remember Mama" about a family in San Francisco in 1910. A great film.

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.

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!

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've always wanted to know what "Old San Francisco" looked like before that earthquake. WOW, what fantastic architecture that existed in that time period. HOW did they do it? That's what really amazes me... especially when you realize they didn't have all the power equipment that we have today. It's the same amazement I feel when I think about how they built the "Titanic". How sad it is that all that "Old-World" architecture was destroyed but the pictures still exist. Magnificent!

I moved to SF in 1973 at 25 years old to find work and live my life without prejudice and freedom, lived there for 40 years, left in 2013 to Sacramento to retire and be closer to loved ones. I consider SF my real home since I lived there the longest. Born in Santa Fe, NM and moved to California in 1964 at 16 years young. 58 years in Calif. 40 years in my beloved city of San Francisco. I hope you all visit this great City of SF by the Bay, you'll be mesmorized and fascinated how it was transformed to a unique place. The pictures and all the fascinating history covered here takes me back walking through some of those streets mentioned here. I still consider SF my home, I miss it much, the weather, the people, my friends and all its glory.

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.

No one would ever believe in the sheer extent of this stuff. Superb compilation Jarid my man.

Even though 20 ft. ceilings are a waste of space, I love them. They give a sense of grandeur.

Terrific images I've never seen …Thank you for posting this- more please!

What a beautiful city it was pre-1906. The diverse architecture makes modern glass and steel buildings look unimaginitive (albeit practical, safe and cheap).

I love the film of San Francisco that they were able to determine was filmed a day or two before the earthquake/fire.

I love old world documentaries, I find it facinating how advanced and spectacular the buildings and infrastructure was

Glorious architecture and the people with their wooden vehicles in front don‘t seem to fit. What a difference. I mean not only in size but also in terms of development.

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.

What magnificent architectures, thankyou for this beautiful compilation, going on my Epic playlist. Beautiful music.

Beautiful buildings

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 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.

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.

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!!

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.

Seriously beautiful city

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.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful music.

The city was truly magnificent. Thank you for showing us these images.

Great stuff

Wow, terrific collection of vintage images and really well edited/presented. ♥

I moved to San Francisco in 1962 and lived there for 7 years. I found the city to be so beautiful. Sad to see the shape it's in now.😢

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!!

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!

Alta Vista Park gives a 360 view of San Francisco, it’s amazing

Thanks for the video. Loved it. Amazing images I’d never seen. I moved from NYC, home, to SF in 1976 for college. Never left. After 5yrs I moved to L.A. Now I live in Palm Springs. I’m addicted to California.

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.

I love San Francisco! Thanks for the pictures and the history, I didnt know that the city was founded in 1776💕

Born and raised SF , grandparents here in 1880 from Germany

The city was beautiful and extremely grand in the Beaux-art style before the earthquake and would easily have been a NYC for the westcoast. Reducing the height and structures was the only solution but it has made it the expensive city it is today because of those same restrictions. Thanks for sharing the exclusive photos.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent video. Except for the palm trees and tacky sign boards, much of the city looked like a European city before the earthquake. It is literally unbelievable that such amazing, highly detailed architecture was erected in just a few decades. Who would go to the bother and expense of putting up buildings like that for a relatively meagre population where day to day survival was the main concern? People had to pluck and clean a chicken before cooking it in those days, wash their clothes by hand, hand them on a line to dry, iron their clothes made from yards of cloth, empty chamber pots each morning, chop wood and split kindling just to boil water, do a lot of dusting and sweeping to keep their home looking spruce, beat their rugs every two days, eradicate a lot of cockroaches, beetles, mice, rats, and other vermin in their homes, look after a vegetable garden, cook most of their food from scratch, preserve food in jars, wash their dishes by hand, . . . all this and more took loads of time, but in our modern day, with so many appliances that save time, we have apartments and civic architecture that are mostly ugly, cement block buildings. The houses are bland in comparison to the Victorian era homes.

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 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.

#Jarrod, as I'm watching this video, the TV in my house is playing "Death Valley Days" a Western usually about CA. In the 1800's. It makes me sick to see the way Hollyweird shows California back then. Like a cabin or hut spread out 100's of miles in between. We know better right! I love your content BC I'm constantly trying to show my hubs the LIES we've been told, and until you're videos he just wouldn't listen. I've got his attention now thanks to you! Much love and respect from Alabama!!

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.

great finds jarid 😃

Looks like directed energy weapon. The damage looks the same as we’ve seen recently in the California wildfires!

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.

Love the old pi’s. Thanks 4 sharing

Gosh, some of these designs are absolutely breathtaking. Love the channel Jarid!
