Caption: "Court House, Santa Cruz," c. 1912-1915. Image of the courthouse building constructed in Santa Cruz in 1896. The building was periodically renovated, the most extensive occurring after the 1906 earthquake, when much of the courthouse had to be rebuilt. In 1967, the county removed its court facilities to a new building. The old courthouse was subsequently remodeled, opening in 1972 as an office and retail building. Heavy damages sustained in 1989 as a result of the Loma Prieta earthquake necessitated the building's demolition. Please note that this photograph appears to be reversed, as this is a mirror image of the structure.
Date: 1915

Caption: "Portals of the Past," c. 1915, on the shore of Lake Lloyd in Golden Gate Park, was originally the entranceway to the Nob Hill mansion of railroad tycoon, A.N. Towne. The entranceway was the only part of the home that was not destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and was moved to Golden Gate Park in 1909 as a reminder of much that was lost. See also 96-07-08-alb05-065.
