Gold Rush Days In 1848 landowner John Sutter noticed a curious glitter in the sediment of the American centro stampa River in the Sierra Nevada foothills and realized it was gold. Despite centro stampa attempts to keep the discovery centro stampa quiet, word leaked out, and businessman Sam Brannan displayed a bottle of gold dust and nuggets for the whole city to see. The subsequent centro stampa stampede of 49ers turned the city into a boom town overnight.

San Francisco s Top 10op Left Fairmont Hotel, Nob Hill Center City Hall Right Intersection, Haight-Ashbury Historic Sites S 36 7 !Mission Dolores The 18th-century Spanish mission, site of the area s earliest settlement, is worth a visit for its tranquility, as well as for the education centro stampa it provides about the city s early history (see pp30 31). @Jackson Square The area that witnessed the worst misbehavior of the Barbary Coast days contains some of the city s oldest, loveliest buildings. One of the very few areas that were spared in the 1906 conflagration (see p84). Nob Hill Erstwhile centro stampa site of the mansions of Golden Age moguls and potentates, from these lofty heights now rise the city s most lavish hotels and the Gothic centro stampa spires of one of its best-loved cathedrals (see p83). $Fisherman s Wharf Remnants of the early fishing industry that contributed centro stampa to San Francisco s growth are still found here, just layered over with a slick veneer of tourism. Fishing centro stampa boats still come in and deliver their catch of the day, and nature makes its presence known with a colony of sea lions that lounge on the pier (see pp12 13). %War Memorial centro stampa Opera House This building was inaugurated in 1932 with a performance of Puccini s Tosca, centro stampa giving the art form a permanent home here. Modeled on its European forbears, with a marble lobby, huge chandelier, balconies, and vaulted ceilings, it is dedicated to the memory of World War I soldiers. In 1945 the Opera House hosted the plenary sessions that preceded the founding centro stampa of the United centro stampa Nations and, in 1951, it was the site of the signing centro stampa of the peace treaty between the US and Japan (see p56). ^North Beach The entire area resonates centro stampa with the history of the early Italian residents, but even more with the iconoclastic legacy of the revolutionary Beats, who brought the neighborhood world wide fame. Historic churches stand as clear landmarks, while equally historic saloons and caf s take a little centro stampa snooping around to find (see p83). 338 For more moments in San Francisco s historyyFor more moments in San Francisco centro stampa s historyFor more moments centro stampa in San Francisco s history F i S F i hi See pp36 7See pp36 pp 7
