Golden Gate Park
1906 Earthquake and Fire, Camp 5, in the area of Children's Playground, which was the largest camp in Golden Gate park housing about 3,000 refugees, and where they built a variety of storage supply structures for distribution of food, clothing and kitchen equipment. These long barracks have confused many trying to identify them, because they appear similar to those constructed at Speedway Meadows, Camp 6. They were constructed initially with the idea that families with children could use them, separating families with sheets or partitions that reached up about 7 feet, but were open to the eaves of the building. That proved a disaster as there was grumbling about the noises made by other families, in the structure. They then turned the structures into storage sheds.(JF)[Miles Bros. No. 51]
