Comments on: 1906 Academy Building http://www.calacademy.org/blogs/library/?p=1258 Treasures within the Academy Library Fri, 17 May 2013 22:26:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Dinah http://www.calacademy.org/blogs/library/?p=1258&cpage=1#comment-1457 Dinah Mon, 18 Apr 2011 21:17:37 +0000 http://www.calacademy.org/blogs/library/?p=1258#comment-1457 Nice!

Another interesting reference, Christina, for more neighbor detail but a slightly earlier date is the book Victorian San Francisco: The 1895 Illustrated Directory which has drawings of all the street frontages along the major business streets.

I see from page 52 that the building also contained
- Mayo A. Greenlaw, D.D.S. Doctor of Dental Surgery
- J.H.A. Folkers & Bro. Importers Surgical Instruments and Dental Goods, Mfrs Trusses and Apparatus for Deformities
and
- B.B. Brewer. Rooms 4-5. Dentist.

Curiously, the offices of the Illustrated Directory itself were just next door at 809 Market.

If you have any problem finding a copy of this book, just ping me on email or Twitter (@metagrrrl) and I’ll bring it by the Academy sometime for you to borrow. Can we do a negative checkout on my Naturalist Center library card? ;)

Fidler Wed, 05 Jan 2011 00:04:14 +0000 http://www.calacademy.org/blogs/library/?p=1258#comment-1046 Thanks for the comment and question, Matt. The 3:34 stop time is for the 60 Minutes version linked above. The Academy fully appears in the Prelinger Archives version at around the 2:53 minute mark. You can view that version here:

I might e-mail you with a follow-up. Quick question here, is the 3:34 stop time in the restored video from Prelinger, or in the 60 Minutes Overtime version linked above? I think those would be slightly different at 3:34. Thanks.
