Administrative Information
Acquisition Information
M. M. O’Shaughnessy photograph collection was received by The Bancroft Library from two sources. The first portion was purchased
from Butterfield & Butterfield on March 6, 1992. The second, and much larger portion, was given to The Bancroft Library by
Elizabeth O’Shaughnessy on August 15, 1992.
The material donated by Miss O’Shaughnessy formed the manuscript collection, BANC MSS 92/808. The photographs were transferred
from BANC MSS 92/808, and merged with BANC PIC 1992.058. The rationale was that all the material was originally part of a
single collection, and that there was no apparent reason to leave them as two separate collections. There was no attempt
to distinguish the items originally contained in the purchase from those originally contained in the gift.
Accruals
No additions are expected.
Biographical Information
Michael Maurice (M. M.) O’Shaughnessy was born in Limerick, Ireland, on May 28, 1864, the son of Patrick and Margaret (O’Donnell)
O’Shaughnessy. One of nine children, he was educated in the public schools in Ireland, and attended Queen’s College, Cork,
and then in Galway. He graduated with honors from the Royal University, Dublin on October 21,1884, and received the degree
of Bachelor of Engineering.
0n March 8, 1885, O’Shaughnessy sailed for America and ten days later reached New York City, then proceeded on to San Francisco,
arriving on March 30, 1885. He began his career working as Assistant Engineer, first for the Sierra Valley and Mohawk Railroad
(1885-1886) and later for Southern Pacific Railroad (1886-1888) at various locations throughout California. He began private
consulting as a civil engineer in August 1888, and undertook the surveying and engineering of land developments in California,
laying out a number of small towns. From 1890 to 1898, he was in general engineering practice in California, with an office
in San Francisco. He served as Chief Engineer of the 1893 California Mid-winter International Exposition; was Chief Engineer
for the Mountain Copper Company and built 12 miles of narrow-gauge railroad in Shasta, California in 1895; and completed projects
for several corporations, including the Spring Valley Water Company.
From 1899 to 1906, O’Shaughnessy was engaged in the design and construction of four large irrigation and hydraulic projects
on about twenty sugar plantations in the Hawaiian Islands, including Olokele Aqueduct, Kauai; Koolau Aqueduct, Maui; and Kohola
Aqueduct, Hawaii. From 1907 to 1912, he served as both Chief Engineer and Consulting Engineer for John D. and Adolph Spreckels’
Southern California Mountain Water Company in San Diego, and completed the Dulzura Conduit and Morena Rock Fill Dam. Other
work during this period included Throttle Dam (New Mexico), channel rectification on the Salinas River for Spreckels Sugar
Company, Crocker-Huffman Dam on the Merced River, and development of the water works at Port Costa.
On September 1, 1912, O’Shaughnessy was appointed City Engineer by Mayor James Rolph, and received a yearly salary of $15,000—almost
double that of his predecessor. He held the position for twenty years – until January 8, 1932, when a new City Charter was
adopted that separated the ordinary work of the City Engineer from that of its public utilities, including the municipal water
supply. On February 8, 1932, the newly formed Public Utilities Commission appointed him Consulting Engineer for Hetch Hetchy
Water Supply, a position that he held until his death in 1934. Accomplishments during his tenure as San Francisco City Engineer
include extensions of streets and sewers, design and construction of boulevards, tunnels, bridges, development of a high pressure
fire system and fire alarm signal station, and municipally owned utilities, including a street railway system and water supply
and hydro-electric power projects.
The major part of O’Shaughnessy’s time and interest were occupied with the Hetch Hetchy Water Supply project. Former City
Engineer Carl E. Grunsky had selected the Tuolumne River as the source of water for San Francisco, but there were lengthy
delays due to opposition from many sources. O’Shaughnessy’s immediate predecessor, Marsden Manson, kept the project alive,
and following engineer John R. Freeman’s report on the project in 1912, Congress approved President Wilson’s grant of the
federal lands to San Francisco. Construction work began in 1914 in the mountains and was finally completed in 1934, when water
first reached reservoirs. The work required building a railroad, power plants and transmission lines, several storage dams
and reservoirs, and an aqueduct. During the lengthy period of construction, O’Shaughnessy resisted attacks by numerous opponents
of the project who sought to stop the progress of the work. In July 1923, the dam at Hetch Hetchy Valley was dedicated in
his honor, and officially given the name, O’Shaughnessy Dam.
Throughout his career, O’Shaughnessy served as a consulting engineer for a wide variety of projects, including municipal,
state and federal government endeavors, as well as corporate and private enterprise. Notable among these are water and power
projects throughout California, including Strawberry Dam (Stanislaus River); Lower Otay, Barrett and El Capitan Dams (San
Diego); Alpine Dam (Marin County); Bowman Dam (Yuba River); and Juncal Dam (Santa Barbara); and elsewhere in the U.S., including
Skagit River, Seattle and Dix River, Kentucky. He advised on municipal transportation systems, including street railways in
Detroit, Michigan and Tacoma, Washington, and waterfront development in Portland, Oregon. He also served in an advisory capacity
for Marin County Municipal Water District and as Acting Commissioner of the waters of Lake Tahoe for the Department of the
Interior. O’Shaughnessy was called upon as an expert witness in several land valuation cases, and reported on his studies
of earthquakes for the City of Santa Barbara, and on the St. Francis Dam failure.
M. M. O’Shaughnessy was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers on June 4, 1902, and was active in the
San Francisco Section, serving as its President in 1920. He was a regular contributor to the publications of the Society,
and in 1913 won the James Laurie Prize for his article on the construction of Morena Dam, the largest rock fill dam in the
world. He was a member of the American Water Works Association, American Society of Military Engineers, American Society for
Testing Materials, and the Seismological Society, and regularly lectured to engineering students at Stanford University, University
of Santa Clara, and the University of California, Berkeley.
In 1890, M. M. O’Shaughnessy married Mary Spottiswood of San Francisco. They had four daughters (Margaret, Mary, Elizabeth,
and Helen) and two sons (Francis J. and Maurice, who died in early childhood). In 1893, O’Shaughnessy built a summer cottage
at 60 Summit Avenue, Mill Valley, which eventually evolved into a 3-story, 10-room home with a tennis court, barn, and gardens
laid out by John McLaren, the designer of Golden Gate Park. In 1912, O’Shaughnessy purchased 2732 Vallejo Street as the family’s
San Francisco residence, although they continued to spend summers in Mill Valley. He was a member of the Commonwealth Club
of California, University Club, Chit Chat Club, Presidio Golf Club, Save the Redwoods League, and the American Irish Historical
Society, and throughout his life remained an active member of the Roman Catholic Church.
M. M. O’Shaughnessy died of heart failure on October 12, 1934, just a few days before the mountain water from Hetch Hetchy
flowed into the reservoirs.
Sources include:Memoirs: Michael Maurice O’Shaughnessy, American Society of Civil Engineers, 1934.
Scope and Content of Collection
The M.M. O’Shaughnessy photograph collection contains photographic prints, film negatives, photographically illustrated reports,
albums, cartoons, lantern slides and ephemera from 1887 to 1986. The majority relate to M.M. O’Shaughnessy’s professional
life as a civil engineer, working first as a consultant in private practice, and later as City Engineer of San Francisco.
The bulk of the collection documents the construction of the Hetch Hetchy Water Supply system, which O’Shaughnessy directed
during his tenure as City Engineer of San Francisco. In addition, there is some material relating to his personal life and
family.
The collection has been divided into three series. The first two series, Consulting Engineer and Miscellaneous Professional
Material, and San Francisco City Engineer, contain photographs of engineering projects he supervised or was consulted for.
A good portion of these photographs were taken by professional photographers, both identified and unidentified. The remaining
photographs are snapshots probably taken by M.M. O’Shaughnessy. The third series, Personal, Family and Miscellany contain
photographs of M.M. O’Shaughnessy and his family, and miscellaneous ephemera collected by them.
As a consulting engineer, M.M. O’Shaughnessy worked on projects at various locations throughout California and the West.
Most of the projects represented in the Consulting Engineer and Miscellaneous Professional Related Material series are related
to water engineering, especially dams. His early career is represented by photographs of irrigation projects for various sugar
plantations in Hawaii. When he returned to California, he became Chief Engineer of the Southern California Mountain Water
Company. The collection includes photographs of the many dams and water systems in San Diego County including Morena Dam.
In 1912, when M.M. O’Shaughnessy was appointed City Engineer of San Francisco, he became responsible for major redevelopment
as he directed municipal projects undertaken by the city after the earthquake and fire of 1906. These included major thoroughfare
projects, the San Francisco Municipal Railway, the city’s Civic Center, bridges, and sewage systems, many of which are documented
in this collection. Also included in the collection are aerial views of the city, various city events, and miscellaneous
subjects mostly related to San Francisco during the time of O’Shaughnessy’s tenure as City Engineer.
One of the largest challenges O’Shaughnessy faced in his career was the construction of the Hetch Hetchy Water Supply system
for the city of San Francisco. Visual documentation related to the project forms a sub-series under San Francisco City Engineer,
and constitutes the bulk of the entire collection. The photographs date from early planning surveys in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains in 1906 to the 1934 “holing through” of the Coast Range Tunnel, which provided for the arrival of mountain water
to the local San Francisco distribution system later that year.
O’Shaughnessy documented the projects he supervised by taking snapshots, and writing travel diaries and notes while on inspection
trips to work sites. He also relied on professional photographers to record the stages of construction. Later he would create
reports and albums using collected photographs, or his own snapshots, to show what he thought was important in the development
of the project. A single report or album can span several years of a project, or focus on a single day. Included are brief
annotations with the images, or several pages of text. The photographic reports and albums are listed within the subjects’
corresponding series. Travel diaries, notes and text reports are found in manuscript collection, M.M. (Michael Maurice) O’Shaughnessy
papers, BANC MSS 92/808 c.
Many views of construction projects present in thie collection were taken by San Francisco City Photographer Horace B. Chaffee.
Of note are those he photographed in the Sierra Nevada Mountains documenting the Hetch Hetchy system. Other identified photographers
within the collection include, Francis P. Farquhar (Hetch Hetchy before construction), Gabriel Moulin (Exchequer Dam and O’Shaughnessy
Dam and Hetch Hetchy Reservoir), Frank D. Robinson (Exchequer Dam), Charles M. Hiller (Islais Creek reclamation), R.P. Stineman
(Lower and Upper Otay Dams, Morena Dam and Sweetwater Dam), O.J. Todd (Early Intake), and I.W. Taber (copy prints of historic
views of San Francisco area).
The original order of the collection is not known, but it is known that the collection has changed since MM O’Shaughnessy
left it when he died. The collection survived a fire at the O’Shaughnessy home in 1987. The Bancroft Library staff has reassembled
the collection to its present state.
Three distinct collections of photographs, originally found with this collection, were removed and given separate call numbers.
These included the family photographs of Harry Maurice Guy (BANC PIC 1992.081), the Sheehy and Rodman family (BANC PIC 1992.083),
and the photograph collection of Russian Countess Irina Tolstoy (BANC PIC 1992.082). The relation of these people to M.M.
O’Shaughnessy and/or his daughters has not been determined.
The collection does include some modern photographic prints. These are selections of unprinted negatives printed by the Library
Photographic Service. Many negatives were discarded during processing because of deterioration.
Note
A small number photographs have been retained within the M.M. O’Shaughnessy papers, BANC MSS 92/808 c. These are photographs
that have been determined to be integral to the accompanying reports and textual records. The location of the photos are
noted in the container listing of manuscript finding aid under the related folder. Notes follow the pattern: Includes photographs
(supplementary or duplicate): # of prints and negatives. "Duplicate" indicates that other copies are found in BANC PIC 1992.058--PIC.

are grouped together. The name, organization or company responsible for construction is included in the container listing
when known. The snapshots were probably taken by M.M. O’Shaughnessy.
Photographs prior to O’Shaughnessy’s 1912 appointment as City Engineer of San Francisco include the irrigation aqueducts constructed
for various sugar plantations on the Hawaiian Islands (1899-1906). Another large group of photographs is of projects completed
by O’Shaughnessy while he was Chief Engineer of the Southern California Mountain Water Co. in San Diego (1907-1912), including
the Morena Dam (the largest rock-fill dam in the world upon its completion, and the only dam in its region to withstand the
devastating flood of 1916). Around 1912-1914, the City of San Diego purchased the water system built by the Southern California
Mountain Water Co.
Throughout his career as San Francisco City Engineer and after, M.M. O’Shaughnessy was involved with numerous engineering
projects as either a consultant or advisor. Among the projects pictured are the Throttle Dam in New Mexico; the new Lower
Otay and Barrett Dams in San Diego County; the Skagit River Power Plant for Seattle, Washington; the Detroit Urban Railway
system; the new Bowman Dam in Grass Valley; and the Juncal Dam in Santa Barbara County.
