Old Pic of the Rock

Here's the whole picture (though you can see it much better at http://goo.gl/erSWn). Photographed by Carleton E. Watkins. The "Octagon House" (middle bottom) still exists in the Marina District. Interesting in the online (high resolution) version are all the farms, and the (long built over) sand dunes, which is why there was so much damage in the part of town in the 1989 quake.
