Market & Mason
View north across Market to Admission Day Monument (Native Sons Monument). Erected in 1897, sculpture by Douglas Tilden, located at the intersection of Market, Mason and Turk Streets. It commemorates California Admission Day (September 9, 1850), the date on which the state became part of the Union. In 1948 it was moved to Golden Gate Park, and in 1977 moved to its present location at Market and Montgomery St. The five-story building at the left is The Metropole, a lodging house built around 1883 at Turk and Mason. The Olympia Music Hall (later known as Tivoli Opera House), the large round building in the background, was built in 1884 as the Panorama Building and was later remodeled as the Tivoli Opera House. Two street sweepers at work. Pacific Shirt Co. at right. (PF)
