<p>San Francisco, California<br />
<br />
Following the great earthquake of 1906, water mains were severed as fire engulfed San Francisco. This hydrant near Dolores Park is said to be the only one that continued to provide water. It is commemorated and painted with a fresh coat of gold paint each April 18.<br />
<br />
-----------------<br />
<br />
Though the water mains were broken and dry on April 18, 1906 yet from this Greenberg hydrant on the following night there came a stream of water allowing the firemen to save the Mission District.<br />
<br />
Dedicated to chief Dennis Sullivan and the men who fought the Great Fire and to the spirit of the people of San Francisco who regardless of their losses brought our city from its ruins to be host of the world with their 1915 Pan Pacific Exposition and the building of our Civic Center.<br />
<br />
May their love and devotion for this city be an inspiration for all to follow and their motto ‘The city that knows how’ a light to lead all future generations.<br />

<p>This crane was using a large weight, which appeared to be concrete, to break up the pavement leading to the old East Portal.<br />

The changes from the start of subway construction were quite dramatic - and unexpected. I knew that construction had begun . . . but I did not know about the details.<br />

<p>This image was taken from "about" the same location as the 1973 image showing the temporary tracks (including the "roller coaster") through this area.<br />
<br />
As evidenced by the cover over the escalator and the 1100-series car in the background, the station was not yet open.<br />
