The Big Shake (3) July 3, 2015August 24, 2016SF Film Locations A great picture of San Francisco citizens in Union Square watching the fire from the 1906 Earthquake approach them. Some of the people seem pretty relaxed! On the left is the Dewey Monument, much wider today. The steel frame of the unfinished Grace Building at 164 Geary Blvd. is in the middle. To the right of the Grace Building is the City of Paris Department Store at Stockton and Geary. These two buildings survived the Earthquake, although, the City of Paris building was demolished after the store closed in 1979. Another survivor of the earthquake is the domed Call Building peeking out at Union Square behind the City of Paris. The dome was removed in 1938 and the building is now called the Central Tower. It’s the white and brown striped building to the right of the Grace Building. (Thumbnail image) Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading... Related
