View of the City from Stockton street, containing the portions between Washington and Sacramento streets.
Creator/Contributor:
Fardon, G. R. (George R.), 1806-1886., photographer
Abstract:
This view is the fourth plate of Fardon's seven-plate panorama (taken from Stockton and Sacramento Streets). Ships at the
waterfront and Yerba Buena Island are in the distance. At the left is the City Hall on Portsmouth Square (formerly the Jenny
Lind Theatre), just to its right and toward the bay is the Montgomery Block, and beyond that is the incomplete Customs House.
The dome and west face of the Merchants' Exchange building are visible beyond the Customs House. At center is the exterior
of Ford's Daguerrean Gallery (the photographic studio of James M. Ford) at Clay and Kearny Streets, which is upstairs from
Keyes & Co. Clothing Store.
