Howdy ya’ll. Any of my viewers from the great state of California? Today I’d like to share with you over 125 unseen images of Old World San Francisco, California. This assortment of images will come to us from a slew of private collections I recently gained access to.

We are looking at only photographs that I have never seen presented elsewhere before. A truly unique collection. We will look at images of San Francisco from shortly after the Gold Rush of 1849 through the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the end of World War 2.

For your pleasure, I’ve divided the photographs, the first 15 minutes or so will be exclusively unseen and rare images of San Francisco BEFORE the great earthquake of 1906, starting with the Ohlone Shell Mounds of the Bay Area.

Many times finding quality photographs of San Francisco that haven’t been shared before, from before the earthquake, is difficult, but I’ve spent the last few weeks accumulating pictures, and I’m prepared to share them with you here today.

We will see countless domes, spires, antiquitech topped buildings, with stories, or floors, each 15 to 20 feet tall or more. We see symmetrical buildings, statues of the old World, wireless trolleys, and countless other details which lead us to more questions than answers. Today, let’s try and decipher this narrative together, let us take a look at the oldest, and rarest photographs of San Francisco, California. Please like, share, leave your thoughts down below, and Enjoy!
