Despite
the Museum of the City of San
Francisco’s location in an indoor
shopping mall (formerly a Del Monte peach
canning plant), its displays remind us of
an eccentric collector’s dusty
attic. Maps, photos and odd bits of
memorabilia are grouped together in a
number of tableaux to tell the story of
San Francisco’s history, with a
special emphasis on the 1906 earthquake.
Those with a strong interest in the
city’s past or in Victoriana will
find a visit to this small museum
particularly compelling.
