FEATURED WEB PAGES
The second San Francisco Mint building, "The Granite Lady"
which survived the 1906 earthquake, was begun in 1870 and
put into operation in 1874. So Harte's office was in the first
Mint building, opened in 1854 on Commercial street, between
Montgomery and Kearny. An historic plaque marks the site
at 608-610 Commercial Street.
This week's featured web pages relate to Harte's mint
building. The first is an early view of the first mint building;
the second is the site as it looks today.
