Description
Exterior of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Depot in San Rafael, California. This depot was built by Peter Donahue who owned the SR & NP Railroad. It was replaced with a mission revival-style station in 1929. San Rafael Hill can be seen in the distance. This illustration is from a brochure titled San Rafael Illustrated and Described, published by W.W. Elliott & Co., in 1884. The brochure shows images of early San Rafael and was designed as a promotional piece, meant to attract new residents and investors to Marin County's most populous town. The original lithographs were made from the sketches of Mr. Chris Jorgensen, a teacher at the San Francisco Art School and noted artist.
