“SOMA and Mission in 1900” Print
The third location of the “Ever-Changing: San Francisco” collection, as it may have appeared in 1900.
In a short time… a landscape transformed. The Spanish established a mission near the Yelamu village of Chutchui and proceeded to cause the deaths of more than 5,000 indigenous people from the region over several decades, through enslavement, poor conditions, and disease. After the U.S. assumed control of California following the period of Mexican independence, the gold rush led to a surge in development. Developers and the city moved sand dunes, transformed plank roads into city blocks, and filled the bays to create new real estate. The cove (front right in 1700) is completely filled, aided by the rotted ships abandoned by gold seekers. New piers were built, and notable buildings include the marine hospital (center) and the Selby Shot Tower (at center right) for making ammunition. A railroad crosses Mission Bay, and the hills are only just beginning to be developed. How do these changes to the landscape make you feel?
