Description
Photograph of a drawing by Adolf Wellman depicting a view of San Francisco from the California Street Hotel, 1885. The dual spires of what appears to be a church stand visible on the block to the right of center, the rest of the city extending back to the bay along the horizon where ships can be seen. A mountain ridge slopes in from the left. In the left foreground, a woman with a small child can be seen facing away from the viewer along a brick and wrought-iron fence. Wellman lived at 25 Park Place in New York City. The image forms a panorama with CHS-7360.

The bay is partially visible along the horizon to the left, while more houses can be seen faintly along the mountains in the distance.
