The San Francisco building in the Model City was a model of the San Francisco ferry depot, while inside a focus was on shipping facilities.
Description[edit | edit source]
A complete municipal exhibit of all the departments of the city government, which shows to advantage the workings of the departments of education, health, streets, fire, police, and public parks, occupies the greater portion of the second floor and is the exhibit of most importance. The organization of the committees for the San Francisco exhibit was erected jointly by the five leading commercial organizations of San Francisco - Merchants' association, Board of Trade of San Francisco, and Chamber of Commerce.
A hemisphere eight feet in diameter at the equatorial line serves to illustrate San Francisco's railroad and steamship connections, and a relief map showing the contour and elevation of land surrounding the bay, from Benicia to San Jose, is being studied by interesting visitors. These are supplemented by a set of enlarged panoramic views of the bay, and motion pictures of the entire water front, showing the shipping coming and going, with special reference to the ferry system. There are re-enforced by charts, maps and models of the street railway lines, also water, light and telephone service, street paving and sewer system. Lectures illustrated by lantern slides and moving pictures of places in San Francisco are given daily in the lecture hall in the rear of the main exhibits.
An unanswerable sunshine argument is made with a fine set of enlarged color photographs of the market stalls at Christmas time. A comprehensive photographic exhibit of flower venders in mid winter, with varieties of flowers grown in the open air, is also shown, also motion pictures of the Olympic club swimming in the surf at the Cliff house beach on Christmas Day, as well as views taken in Golden Gate park, including the music stand, children's playground, etc., taken at the same season. The official Weather bureau records form a part of this exhibit.
The United Crafts and Arts have furnished this building throughout with specially designed furniture made from California curly redwood and redwood burl. All the furniture is in old mission style and is in harmony with the building it furnishes.
