San Francisco has a dynamic and wonderful past. Even though the city has a relatively short history, there are still plenty of fascinating photographic images from the past. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and check out these spectacular photos of Fog City.
1. San Francisco during the Gold Rush around 1850 or 1851. This is a picture of San Francisco harbor at Yerba Buena Cove.
2. This is the Mission San Francisco de Asis (Mission Dolores) on Dolores Street in San Francisco between 1880 and 1902. One of the few remaining cemeteries is located at the Mission Dolores church today.
5. A natural scene of people hanging out on the beach near the Cliff House. This is classic San Francisco. Wearing layers and staying out of the ocean seems to have been common in the early days of the city too.
12. The Ruins of Seals Stadium in 1964. This picture is taken exactly at the former San Francisco Seals baseball stadium, at the corner of Bryant and 16th Streets.
