- I colorized , restored and sound design for this Rare video of San Francisco 1900s,
00:05 - 01:46 the Native Son's Monument visible at the intersection of Turk and Mason streets, beyond which lies the unfinished Flood Building and, to the far right, the Call Building tower. United Railroad cable cars move along Market Street, with the tall building on the right likely being the "Castle" of the Knights of Pythias. A street sweeper is then seen performing a task in the final days of horse power. Further along, a wall advertisement for J. Heller and Co. Boots and Shoes is visible on the left, and to the far right is the Emporium department store. The unfinished masonry work on the Flood Building reappears at the intersection of Powell and Eddy streets on the left. The driver veers around a buggy towards the awning of the Emporium and approaches the intersection of Stockton, Ellis, and Fourth Streets. The car passes to the right of a Valencia Street cable car en route from the Mission District to the Ferry Building, followed by an electric streetcar crossing from Fourth Street to Ellis Street in front of the Phelan Building on the left. The camera then approaches the back of a Castro Street cable car, with the blank rear walls of the Mutual Savings Bank at the corner of Geary and Kearny Streets visible on the left. The sign at the upper right advertises Sanborn and Vail Wholesalers.
01:46 - 04:42 Heading northwest up Third Street from Mission Street, the Winchester Hotel is at near left and the Call Building is beyond, at the left corner. The Mutual Savings Bank is across Market Street, at the center, and the blank wall of the Hearst Building is at the right, opposite the Call Building. The first of many street sweepers is seen, as a policeman patrols the crowd at right. The view is across into Kearny Street as the automobile approaches Market Street. Swinging right into Market Street, the stone-faced Chronicle Building is visible, with Lotta's Fountain at right, the 1875 gift of California actress Lotta Crabtree. Passing behind a cable car, the line ran from 20th Street, near Fairmount Hill, north on Castro Street to Market Street, then down Market to the Ferry Building. The opulent Palace Hotel is at the center. Approaching the intersection of Montgomery, Post, and New Montgomery streets, the Crocker Building and Union Trust Building (white base) are at left; the Grand Hotel and the Palace Hotel are at right. The Union Trust Building is at left; the Hobart Building adjacent to it at right. Working through the crowd, the automobile enters Montgomery Street, the "Wall Street West" of later years. A scaffold at right indicates a building under construction. After a double cut in the continuity of the film, the driver has made the first left turn from Montgomery Street and is halfway up Sutter Street. A street clock at right reads 2h14. Several businesses set up street clocks for the convenience of patrons. The view is west up Sutter Street to a horsecar stopped behind the crowd. Turning left (south) into Kearny Street (note the stray dog), the automobile heads across Post Street - a very rough ride. A water wagon is at left, and several street sweepers are in the intersection. Looking across Market Street, the camera comes full circle - the Hearst Building (left), the Winchester Hotel (center), and the Call Building (right) come into view again. Turning right (southwest) into Market Street, the automobile passes a flag-decked cable car and the decorated portal of the Call Building. A small traffic jam is encountered. Men, perhaps reporters, climb into a wagon. The Phelan Building at Market and O'Farrell (and Grant) streets is at right center.

Would you like to live in the 1900's?
I did.
Maybe after the earthquake.
I always feel that I belong to that generation whenever I watch this video clip. I would love to meet people of the past generations - they lived a simple life and within their means. God bless their souls.
Certainly. It is so much better than our life today.
@@NASS_0 I did. I was born in 1969. Plenty of good times.
To have such old footage in such high quality is truly amazing
It's been remastered with AI
@@genesmolko8113 Yeah, I know
@@au1317 don't tell him!
WOW!!!! This film is an incredible piece of San Francisco history. Taken only three years prior to the 1906 Earthquake. As a native San Franciscan I found much of it still recognizable.
Just when I think NASS has reached the peak of his talent he raises the bar even higher. Thank you again NASS for these marvelous wonderful peeks at history. You're simply the best at what you do.
Thx!! ^^
The clarity and motion are outstanding, remarkable for 1903! Thank you! I've called San Francisco home since 1979 and have not seen a film as spectacular as this one. Fantastic!
Thx!!!!
Why are those crowds along the streets, as if they are waiting to get on the camera?

@@pdizzle7111 thank you very much!!
@@pdizzle7111 I did the same!!
z przyjemnością 🥰
I've watched this several times....
0:08 - Starts at Market and Turk heading toward Ferry Building
1:30 - Headed up Market toward Castro still (Valencia would be ahead on Left side) and Castro on Right
1:52 - Jumps to 3rd St (turns into Kearny) and turns right back on to Market(which is the 700 block)
2:36 - Definitely turns right on to Market Street, within viewing of the Ferry Building.(Built in 1898 and still there)
3:09 - Turns left on to Geary, but veers straight onto Kearny.
3:33 - Turns left (probably Stockton St) and heads back to turns right on Market
4:45 - Jump cuts to Union Square from Stockton St. and circles around Union Sq.
5:43 - As camera turns and Union Sq tower comes into view. The large and tall building on Geary and Powell is the current location of St. Francis Hotel
6:17 - The furniture/credit is good store is the current location of Macy's and Louis Vitton.
7:57 - The left corner is SAKS and the right corner where the people are headed is the Union Sq Apple Store.
The St. Francis hotel in this video is about 1/2 it's current size. The 4 columns and (indented building) is still there. There's no church in the current location of that spire, so they sold out long ago. St. Mary's (very large famous church is in that direction, but a street or two left and 10+ back. So that's not it, even with lens compression.
Thank you very much for the details
@@NASS_0 Please pin this comment!
Sorry, but NASS description is correct. This STARTS on Market Street at Turk, going NORTHEAST, toward the Ferry Building. The frame of the Flood Building is in view from the beginning.
@@marketstreetrailway Fixed.
Thank you for bringing the past before our eyes and mind to revisit days gone by. HISTORY. ❤
Thx!
This is tremendous! A full-on immersion in SF when the Flood Building was being constructed. Thanks for posting!
Thx! ;)
I was born in 1951, only 48 years from this video. How much things changed in those intervening years. This was just before the Wright Brothers flew their first powered plane. When I was born, we were in the beginnings of the jet age. How our perception of time changes everything.
Hola, Buenas Tardes:
Es usted No Nativo digital. Un testigo de la historia, probablemente llegó a ver T.V en blanco y negro.
Pero seguro fue de los primeros en usar un P.C
Ha visto como las mujeres vestían faldas cortas y cómo llegábamos a la Luna.
Seguro ha enviado cartas, telegramas, faxes y ahora usa Wathsapp. Todo un cambio, toda una vida.
Por favor no olvide contar toda su historia a los que le rodean, es un placer leerle. Gracias.
This was May 12 1903 - President Theodore Roosevelt parade, in reverse. Just before his arrival.
Nice. I was wondering why it was so crowded
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (October 27, 1858 - January 6, 1919) was an American politician and statesman.
The 26th President of the United States in 1901-1909 and the 25th Vice President of the United States (March 4 - September 14, 1901) from the Republican Party. Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906. In 1912, he ran for election and tried to become president of the United States for the third time, but lost to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. The 33rd Governor of New York (1899-1901).
Theodore Roosevelt is a distant relative of the 32nd President of the United States Franklin Roosevelt, and Franklin's wife Eleanor Roosevelt is his niece.
The popular children's toy, the "Teddy Bear," was named after Teddy Roosevelt. This happened after a 1902 hunting trip where he famously refused to shoot a bear that had been tied up for him, considering it unsportsmanlike.
Ahhhh,gracias por la informacion,por eso tanto publico!😊
robi pan cudowną pracę pokazując dawne czasy.dziękuję i pozdrawiam.
Sixty years before the age of flower power. And now, we're living 60 years past the age of flower power. Time sure does fly.
@@SmithMrCorona I guess you weren't there for that.
Its amazing how many people gathered for that event.
Been a long time subscriber now. When it comes to film, the older the better. Thanx for your time and effort
thank you very much ;)
This is amazing. I grew up in the Bay Area and my mom’s family was in Sacramento in 1903. How sad that 3 years later it was destroyed by the earthquake. Thank you for the video!
Thx!! ^^
Stunning!!Absolutely fantastic!!Thank you for sharing this with us all!🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
thank you very much
Thanks for this one, NASS. I don't think I've seen this one before. What an astonishing discovery. Shot in 1903, great shots of San Francisco prior to the 1906 quake. Plenty of 45 star US flags hung all over. Before Oklahoma (1907) Arizona and New Mexico (both 1912) Alaska and Hawaii (both 1959) were added. Totally Delightful !
Apparently, no electric streetcars at this time. Just cable cars running down Market St. Thanks for sharing!
Thx!
but electric vehicles did exist!
@@bennri Yes, for over ten years before this was filmed.
And all these old world buildings. Been there for centuries 😏😉. Having an earth quake conveniently destroying most buildings.
@@peanut422hb Sigh. There's mountains of documentation of when the original buildings were constructed. They LOOK like Old-World buildings because SF was really wealthy (you know, the gold rush, the Comstock mine). The region attracted 1% types who had the $$$ to hire craftsmen to re-create the styles they'd admired in Europe.
It's really that straightforward. No conspiracies or alien intervention needed.
Amazing film the amount of people and the size of San Francisco back then was incredible. Seeing photos and films of here in Australia back then there was a massive difference in size even looking at our biggest cities Sydney and Melbourne. Thanks so much for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thx
I love Cars but it is nice to see the streets with just people walking through.
This is an amazing old film from 121 years ago! As a SF native who was born in 1950, I guessed it was from the time of Teddy Roosevelt's visit. Thanks for this, Nass! 🌺
Thx;))
It would have been nice if it had footage of President Roosevelt.
Simply amazing! Thanks for doing this.
Thx!!
Encore et toujours de belles images ! Merci beaucoup NASS 👍
Merci a vous
No "Rice-a-Roni" signs on the trolley cars. Seriously, I don't recall ever having seen footage of what SF looked like before the earthquake. Great video.
This is amazing!! Imagine filming that and not knowing that 121 years later it would be seen by millions of people in some weird thing called CZcams. 😊
THE TIME TRAVEL of our lives! thank you so much .
1900's? Wow! Just a big Wow! Fascinating pictures offering a clear insight into the life of those people who have left our world. Pitty that the opposite way can't be given to them.
i love the soundscapes you add to these videos!
thank you very much
This was a beautiful city back in the day
Simply amazing. Thank you.
Most of the buildings in this film were destroyed in the 1906 quake/fire
Trataría!😮
The question is... who built them? and when?. Obviously, not with carts and horses... and the infrastructure? Those trams and rails do not correspond to the "far west" of Hollywood...
@@fernandorubio972It was the major port on the west coast in the last half of the 19th century. So some of these buildings are probably 20 or 30 years old at this point.
Major development in the area would have started about 50 years prior to this financed by the California Gold Rush.
Bear in mind, this is also 1903. About 30ish years removed from what you would think of as the wild west Although you could make a good argument stretching it back further or bringing it forward depending on what and where you're talking about.
@@fernandorubio972 Really?? Trying to learn history from Hollywood films is like learning dog care by watching a Clifford cartoon.
SF was a massively wealthy city thanks to gold and silver mining. That money brought in a lot of rich people who had the bucks to pay for high-end workers. They hired craftsmen to replicate the kinds of elegant architecture they'd seen in Europe.
And please stop parroting the "horse and buggy" nonsense spread by that charlatan Jon Levi. Personal transportation was WAY less advanced than construction tech because there were hardly any small, portable gas or electric motors back then. But there were *plenty* of big honking steam motors that powered everything from cranes to excavators to drills. Engineers and builders had a solid background in using that and related tech to put up large, multi-storey structures How do you think they constructed everything from music halls to bridges?
The whole TartarSauce narrative comes down to "I don't understand how our ancestors accomplished [XYZ], so the only explanation is some type of gods". That's one *_really_* deep rabbit hole.
Nice job, NASS. It looks as though this may have been particularly challenging but you pulled it off!
Thx!! ^^
That’s the Westin St Francis hotel, which opened a year later in 1904. Its still there and a popular hotel. I think originally it was an apartment building. In the 1970s, President Ford while walking out of the hotel was shot at by a would be assassin who missed.
It's always fascinating.
Que época linda, como eu queria viver essa época pra sentir como era o clima dr se viver nesse tempo, algum brasileiro aqui? 2024
Wow this is the best one yet
Сколько людей, жизнь кипит,и никого в живых нет,так и снами будет
Hi Nass, Another truly amazing video from you. I never tire of your videos. Thanks.😊❤
Hi bro!Thanks
I love this
Absolutely fascinating!!
Gosto muito desses vídeos de época . Os Estados Unidos sempre foi uma nação desenvolvida , mesmo a tanto tempo , fascina com tamanho desenvolvimento .Curto sempre o canal aqui do Brasil .
Thx! ^^
Très bien réussi NASS Merci..
Dashcam 1903.
Good old San Francisco great video super Nass big suppport from Croatia thanks
Hi bro Thx!!
The biggest takeaway for me was that there were no automobiles in this film (although it apparently was being filmed from one) but in the 1906 film there are many. Such a big change in 3 years.
Actually, there were only a few automobiles in the 1906 film. They kept circling around, as is clearly visible in the film (and led to inaccurate observations of generally wild driving in the day. The Miles Brothers, the filmmakers, probably hired them to provide more motion and "modernity". We explain what you see in that famous 1906 film in our narrated version of it, here: czcams.com/video/NPMZStAp_2U/video.html
@@marketstreetrailway Yes, that happened, but automobiles weren't entirely unknown in SF by 1906 either. Automobile market penetration was amazingly quick. The Model T started in 1909. By 1920 market penetration was complete.. horses were mostly retired. Some horse teams were kept for local delivery drivers, but that was about it.
@@MarinCipollina Yes, that's true. But our point about 1906 stands. Automobiles were a novelty, and were used as a prop of modernity in the 1906 Miles Brothers film. People seeing it for the first time think it's something like a random dash cam, but it was a sophisticated production for the era, distributed in theaters. Other elements, such as the sightseeing streetcar crossing right in front of the camera at Third Street, were almost certainly staged as well.
I think I have seen this footage before, but not in this quality, amazing!
What a crowd...the entire town looks to be there!!
As usual, you do a genius of an amazing job. This was 6 years before my mother was born.
Thx!!! ^^
Thank you for making these video's..
Thx!! ;)
There’s a romantic feel to this version of San Francisco. It’s as if it’s an exotic foreign country.
Porque hay tanta gente a los lados esperando?increíbles estos videos,te transportan a otro tiempo!👌
Mucha gente espera porque el presidente Theodore Roosevelt está de visita en la ciudad.
I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting
thank you very much
No signs no lines Everyone drives where they want Pedestrian cross where they want
Unbelievably but true 😅
Ang sarap maglakbay sa nakaraan salamat idol nass🎉🎉🎉
Buenas tardes:
Es un placer ver los vídeos, de eso, que parece un tiempo muy lejano. Los hombres y su deseo de inmortalizar la historia.
veo que los tranvías indican los nombres de calles de origen hispano al igual que la ciudad de San Francisco Castro ST y Valencia St. Todos dejamos huella por donde vamos y pasamos. El color acerca de manera extraña a los hombres en el tiempo, no cree? "solo ha pasado casi un siglo y medio"
Thx!! ^^
This is the first car dash camera
😂Snort lol😂
So many people on the streets.
I remember this time. It was a wonderful time growing up.
I don’t as I died 5 years before this was filmed.
Awesome job! Even got to see the poop patrol from yesteryear!
Thx!!!
I wonder how many of those buildings survived 1906? I wonder how hot it was that particular day. Amazing footage, great restoration as always. Thanks NASS!
thank you very much!! ^^
GREAT VIDEO SUPER NASS GOOD SAN FRANCISCO IN 1903 COOL BIG SUPPORT FOM CROATIA
Thx bro!! ^^
One of these times, I fully expect to be watching a video like this of old SF and will find myself staring into a Grandparent or Great-Grandparent's eyes.
まだドレスの時代だよ～
驚愕！
NASS!, Thanks for posting this video
Thx bro
Very nice video into the past. Glad I wasn’t one of the horse pooper scoopers LOL
Magnificent buildings I wonder who built them and how. Also the skies look so white washed, interesting stuff thanks for sharing.
Thx
The skies look whitewashed because AI has trouble reproducing skies accurately. And the buildings were constructed by skilled craftsmen. All that gold and silver mining financed some really wealthy residents who could afford to hire builders to replicate architectural styles they admired in Europe. (no, they didn't hire aliens / giants / reptoids / Hogwarts grads, hah!)
Very nice clip, very atmospheric. I wish the architecture wouldn't have change too much, though...
thanks for showing an awesome video
Thanks
In the big picture 121 years is not that long ago but it definitely feels like a different universe !
A portal to the past. No cars or trucks. It must have been quieter in those days. Everyone dressed in the Sunday finery just to watch the procession.
So so cool. Thank you!
Thx!
Looks more like europe than nowadays
Hola. Gran trabajo. Gracias.
Thx!
Awesome work, thanks for this, liked 👍
thank you very much
Does anyone else hear the carriage Driver keep saying Por Favor? I heard it over and over again.
pretty fascinating. some of the buildings still exist. Union Square is also shown
We have to bring back the hats.
Absolutely great, although I don't think there was such a loud rush of traffic back then...
thank you very much
What was this camera mounted on?
Good video..
The Dewey Monument was being "opened" looks like. That was 1903. And neat to see the St. Francis partially completed.
From the thumbnail it looks like there's snow on the street.
45 star flag..
When I was born there were 49.
To think everyone in this video no longer exists!
COMMET MISSING???
Was that the old Woolworth building under construction?
Thank you !😁👌
;))
Would be nice for full description to be visible when watching youtub on television
Yes
if i see this video with a color.... now looking like a ultra graphic video game like Assassin creed theme
I wonder if this was filmed by the Miles Brothers??
Excellent NASS
Ty
The equivalent of seeing a Google street car.....that camera must have been large.
What percentage of the edifice structures featured in these clips survive the forthcoming earthquake several years later?
Love it❤
Thx!!
👏Amazing💗
Looks like the lands between these days
Brilliant
thank you very much
3 years before the city looked a bit different from the Earthquake
no cars yet :) cars were expensive in 1903 and not mass produced. I think the real car revolution came with the introduction of Henry Fords assembly line production.
