Van Ness Avenue near Pine circa 1900

View southwest across Van Ness to Victorian mansions with street trees. House at center is 1501 Van Ness, at the northwest corner, home to Robert N. Graves , later Capt. Robert R. Thompson (49er who made a fortune in shipping and water companies). George Hearst reportedly owned this house before him. All of these homes were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire , due to dynamiting between Sutter and Clay.
