Wow is all I can say about the video of S.F. in 1905! What a treasure to be able to watch. All my grandparents were living there and great grandparents too! And to think that this film somehow survived the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone!
