Originally built as the Fine Arts Building for the 1894 Midwinter Fair, it later became the city's Memorial Museum, and finally part of the de Young Museum. (Presence of only one sphinx dates photo to between May 1905, when one of the sphinxes was removed, and April 18, 1906, when museum was severely damaged during earthquake.)

Crowds watching bicycle race in the Stadium (Polo Fields) Golden Gate Park Stadium was proposed in 1904, delayed construction because of the 1906 earthquake and fire. Opened on July 4, 1906. It was envisioned as a multi-use stadium, but popularly called the Polo Field because that sport was played intermittently from the 1920s to 1960s.(JF) (colorized)[Stadium, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Southern Pacific]
