San Francisco in 1906 was a city whose wealth rested on ferries, piers, and the trains that carried freight and commuters across San Francisco Bay. The Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street came through the fire with its structure largely intact, and it stayed a point of departure for people crossing to Oakland and Sausalito in the weeks that followed. Behind it, the burned blocks of offices, hotels, and flats ran toward the hills, and the Palace Hotel, the grand Market Street hostelry, was gutted by the flames. Many families who lost their homes moved into tents in Golden Gate Park and other open ground, where they waited while the city argued over how and where to rebuild.
