Young Mens Christian Association Building, San Francisco, CA, 1891, A. Page Brown
Young Mens Christian Association Building, San Francisco, CA A. Page Brown, architect(s). From the American Architect and Building News, October 24, 1891. 16.75 by 12.75 inches. VG+. Hand-colored Original Plan. The San Francisco YMCA Building was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. There is a picture of the destroyed building below. This picture is extremely hard to find, as the American Architect and Building News not only had a very small circulation during that time, but very few were actually preserved or colored as this has been. It measures 16.75 by 12.75 inches. LARGE PICTURE. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole plan measures 19.25 by 16 inches (with mat border). Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored. Shrink wrapped. Plan is in VG condition with light browning along the edges, a crease down the center, and some light crinkling.
