1906 San Francisco is Smoldering
May 14, 2014
via British Pathé:
I created a few panoramas out of the pans in the film.
One of the three fire engines destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire.
@shamponian and the NYPL Labs pointed out this photo — is it the same one?
180 degree slow pan which I stitched into a panorama. Residential area, street on a slope, with a cross street that looks more commercial. Where is this? Fillmore? Divisadero? The 1905 Sanborns will help. Haven’t found anything that’s a good fit yet though.
Bingo! Matt comes through with Golden Gate and Steiner!
The homes you see at the start of the pan:
Note the three collapsed eaves of the streetcar barn d0wn Steiner.

Another pan. Definitely a business district.
A 360 degree pan. South of Market?
