Description
V1p440a In PHOTO ALBUM-VAULT: ** fc917.9461 A3, Vol. I, page 440 top. This photograph is contained in one of two volumes by Dobbin titled "Album of San Francisco." Caption written on photo: "Cal Art Institute, California Street, 1908." Text written underneath: "Building "California Art Institute." Present site of Mark Hopkins Hotel. Looking from Pine and Mason Street. Photo 1908." Photo shows the south side of the Art Institute, a two-story building with bulging bay windows and flying the American flag. The sloping hillside below the building shows the terracing and landscaping done when the old Mark Hopkins mansion occupied the site. This includes the rather Medieval looking gate at the corner in the foreground, the door of which is plastered with posters advertising Kolb Dill in "Higgledy Piggledy" on Monday, May 6. The roof of the Fairmont Hotel can be seen behind the Art Institute.
