“Ocean Beach in 1900” Print.
The first location of the “Ever-Changing: San Francisco” collection, as it may have appeared in 1900.
By 1900, Settler-colonists transformed the landscape into a location of leisure, as an escape from the rapidly urbanizing city of San Francisco. The 200 years since 1700 witnessed the arrival of the Spanish missions and colonists, and the rapid decline of the Ramaytush Ohlone due to enslavement in the coercive mission system, and disease. There was a brief period of Mexican independence, followed by the continued legacy of the United States’ settler-colonization after the U.S. Intervention in Mexico (to satisfy the expansionist ambitions of U.S. leaders). Wealthy elites and some settler farmers were the first to venture to these “outside lands,” followed by the general public upon Sutro’s construction of the victorian-style cliffhouse, Sutro Baths, and the gardens of Sutro Heights. Accommodation and entertainment was gradually built along the beach, a pier was constructed to support a pipe which conveyed seawater to downtown baths, and the landscaping and planting of Golden Gate Park had begun.
