Title
McCarthy Album 11, Photograph 001
Description
Caption: "City Hall, San Francisco, May 14, 1934." View of San Francisco's Beaux-Arts style City Hall (principle architect: Arthur Brown, Jr.). This building, opened in 1915, replaced San Francisco's original City Hall, which was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. The date with which the photograph was labeled (May 14, 1934) does not appear to be accurate. The date is more likely circa 1925. See also 96-07-08-alb09-003 and 005, and 96-07-08-alb10-01.
