Description
Photograph of a drawing of the exterior of the Baldwin Hotel in San Francisco, ca.1890. The five story hotel is topped by a massive and elaborate dome, which is in turn topped by a tall pole. It has arched windows on all of its floors except the first one, which is occupied by awning-covered shops. There is a lamppost on the street corner in front of the hotel. In the foreground are fourteen pedestrians and two horse-drawn vehicles standing on the cobblestone street.
