I was thrilled to see an article in today's San Francisco Chronicle, releasing photos taken by United Railroads photographer John Henry Mentz, in the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.
Many of these photos have never been published, and offer us a fascinating glimpse of our City in the wake of the disaster. Tomorrow marks the quake's 103rd anniversary.
