It is not a typical promotional or resort picture of sun and surf, as you can see from the overcast\nsky and the mist in the air. It shows a small community captured between the mountains and the curve\nof the ocean. The ocean itself takes up about half of the picture, emphasizing the natural environment\nof Santa Cruz. It could be called a profound picture of Santa Cruz, because it shows Santa Cruz as people\nwho live here know it, as a smaller community, somewhat isolated and different too, with some\ncharacteristic depth and feeling. Almost like a portrait of a person, but capturing a community.\nThis photograph was taken by George Lawrence, an early aerial photographer. Mr. Lawrence began\ntaking pictures from balloons. After falling out of one balloon over two hundred feet into the Chicago\nstockyards, bouncing off wires on the way down, and a second similar mishap over Minneapolis, he\ndeveloped a method of keeping his feet on the ground--hauling his cameras up above with a train of\nkites.\nGeorge Lawrence was partial to big negatives and big cameras. He built one camera that weighed close\nto a ton (1400 lbs), which produced a negative eight feet long, still to this day the largest camera ever\n1\n\n�built, and also the largest negative as well. For aerial photography, he developed a lightweight version,\nonly about 50 lbs in weight, which he lifted up with a string of as many as seventeen kites pulling\ntogether on a pair of steel wires. His aerial cameras had a curved film plane, and took a negative four\nfeet wide, the largest negative ever used in aerial photography.\nAlthough George was based in the Midwest, when he heard of the 1906 earthquake he recognized a\nbusiness opportunity. He brought all his equipment out to California, and took a series of aerial pictures\nof the ruins of San Francisco. One of those pictures is included in Beaumont Newhall's book, Airborne\nCamera. Then he took time to travel around the area, and made more panoramic views of San Jose,\nSalinas, and Pacific Grove, as well as this picture of Santa Cruz.\nIn 1906 ocean front property wasn't yet crowded real estate. Most people chose to live near each other\nand near services and other supplies, closer to downtown. It is sobering to think that the people who\nlived in this landscape probably took what we see here as quite stable and settled, the way things were.\nYet less than a century later, much has changed. So what we take for granted today may also look very\ndifferent in another century. And changes can happen in cycles: over a century people moved into\ndowntown, then they moved out, then they moved back again, so perhaps that cycle will just continue.\nBelow are some comments on buildings and places in the photo. Most of my background on the two\nwharves and the pier is from Ross Eric Gibson, who also had information on other buildings and\nproperties. \"Notes on the History of Wharves at Santa Cruz, California\", by Frank Perry, Barry Brown,\nRick Hyman, and Stanley D. Stevens, June, 2012, updated the wharves history. John Chase's Sidewalk\nCompanion to Santa Cruz Architecture was a source of information on other buildings in the picture. And\nBonnie Minford, the Boardwalk historian, researched archive records there to help fix the date of the\nphotograph as June 24, 1906, the day before they started to lay down a temporary new floor on the\ncharred pilings of the old Casino building that had burned down only two days before.\n\n2\n\n�1. Epworth-by-the-Sea: large house built in 1887, once owned by Bishop Warren, a\nMethodist Bishop, and well preserved today. Small cottage right behind, with a\nchimney, has also survived intact.\n2. West Cliff Drive: clearly built as close as possible to the cliff edge here, probably without\nthought for future coastal erosion.\n3. Hearst Grove: rectangular grove of trees, owned by Phoebe Apperson Hearst, mother of\nWilliam Randolph Hearst (newspaper publisher). She never built on this property, and\ninstead donated the first building, the Administration building, at the Asilomar\nconference center in Pacific Grove in 1913.\n4. Cliff Manor: land owned by William Dingee, who developed the cement plant in\nDavenport and was known as the Cement King. Although there was an increased\ndemand for cement after the quake Dingee had financial problems, and wasn’t able to\nbuild a planned home on this property.\n5. 421 Lighthouse Ave.: may be under construction in this picture, roof seems new,\nperhaps not finished yet. House next to it on Monterey St. is gone today.\n6. 507 and 511 Lighthouse Ave.: pair of twin houses still there today.\n7. 523 Lighthouse Ave.: longer corner house, front of house obscured in photo by a tree no\nlonger there. Vacant lot between 511 and 523 Lighthouse Ave. is still a vacant lot today,\nhas survived over a century.\n\n8. 603 Laguna St.: one story here, but today two stories with a ground floor added\nbeneath.\n9. Neary Lagoon: very much a lagoon, in its wild state then, but also some areas to the\nright fenced and drained for pasture. Today the city sewage plant occupies the natural\npart of the lagoon in the picture, and the natural lagoon of today has been reclaimed\nfrom the pastureland in the picture.\n9a.\nThe building to left looks like a little railroad station, and it is a little railroad\nstation. Two railroads ran up the coast to Davenport: the Coast Line (a Southern Pacific\nsubsidiary) and the Ocean Shore. The Ocean Shore originally planned to build all the way\n3\n\n�along the coast from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, but had to stop at Tunitas Creek from\nthe north. But they did complete the section from Santa Cruz to Davenport in the south.\nSince the coast here is rugged, although they were fierce competitors the Ocean Shore\nand the Coast Line did agree to cooperate building the track to Davenport, and they\nshared the track. And the Coast Line welcomed the Ocean Shore freight (mostly lumber\nfrom the San Vicente Lumber Co. above Swanton), since the Southern Pacific could\nprofit by hauling it to the final destinations on the S.P. network.\nHowever the Coast Line refused to allow the Ocean Shore to use their passenger depot\nnear downtown, now Depot Park, which could steal local passenger traffic from the\nCoast Line. So the Ocean Shore had to build their own modest passenger station here.\nThe underpass at Bay St. is where the track went down to the main Santa Cruz station\nand the freight yards, and if you scroll to the left you’ll see the track headed north to\nDelaware St. Which explains why Delaware is so wide, it had a railroad running down\nthe middle. The Ocean Shore and Coast Line tracks merged north at the city limits, and\ncontinued from there to Davenport.\n10. High St.: a line of trees marks gradual ascent of High St., toward the Cowell Ranch to the\nleft.\n11. Cowell Ranch House: within the grove of trees on High St., and now the Cardiff House at\nUCSC. The current UCSC main entrance is to the left of this grove. If anyone in 1906 had\nsuggested putting 20,000 people here, with only the same two streets for access as in\n1906 (High St. and Bay St.), they probably would have been laughed out of town.\n12. High School: the old wooden High School building, with a tower, which burned down in\n1914, replaced by the present building in 1915.\n13. Thomas Weeks House: large residence with a pointed turret, to the right of the high\nschool, covered with ornate wooden trim. When the high school was rebuilt in 1915, the\nhouse was moved several blocks to its present location at 724 California St., at the foot\nof Otis St. Houses could be moved about in Santa Cruz during this period, and present\nlocations may be different.\n\n4\n\n�14. Railroad Yard: for over a century this was a working railroad yard, and is now a city park,\nDepot Park. Note the steam plume from an engine heading out of the yard north\ntowards Felton. As now, the railroad tracks north pass up Chestnut St.\n15. Lincoln St. Houses: four of the five row houses at 412 - 420 Lincoln St. are visible.\n16. Highland Ave.: steep diagonal slash traces Highland Ave. up the hill, following the route\nof the present pedestrian path. Modern Highland Ave. takes an easier path and zigzags\nup the hill with a switchback.\n17. Judge Logan's House: about 1880 Judge James H. Logan developed the Loganberry here,\nwhich was later crossed with other plants to create the Olallieberry and the\nBoysenberry. Like many large Victorians, the house later fell into neglect and was torn\ndown in the 1940's.\n18. Holy Cross Church: very faint in this picture, may be difficult to see unless zoomed in\nclose on a computer monitor. It appears faint, almost a spiritual presence in the picture.\nBecause in 1906 it wasn't painted a distinctive white color, as it is today, but instead it\nwas painted red, only painted white in 1947. And red brick doesn’t reflect light as well\nas a white surface, which is why white color can help prevent brick deterioration.\n\nIn front of the church in this view is Mission Hill School, and the original building on this\nsite was the first public school in Santa Cruz. Here we can see only the tower on top of\nthe school building. Both the tower and the entire top floor (site of first high school in\nSanta Cruz) were removed later in 1906 because of earthquake damage. In 1931 a new\nschool was built at the present site on King St., and this location was later used for a\nschool administration building.\n19. Holy Cross School: Holy Cross was much more visible then on Mission Hill than the Holy\nCross School of today. The wooden old classroom building was originally in the center of\nthe campus, and was later moved over to the Mission Plaza side, to make room for the\ndormitory and the new classroom building. All these buildings are now gone.\nTo the right of Holy Cross School is the long horizontal roof of the original Mission\nAdobe building, restored now, shorter, as a state park. The building seems quite a\ndifferent architectural style than the other buildings in the panorama, it is more\n5\n\n�subdued, long and low to the ground, a presence from another culture in a different\nperiod a century before 1906.\n20. San Lorenzo Valley: the canyon of the San Lorenzo River.\n21. Pasatiempo: broad hill side, site of golf course and Pasatiempo development.\n22. Washington St.\n23. Center St.\n24. Cedar St.\n\n25. Pacific Ave.: only the lower end of the street is visible in this picture, but you can see\nhow the buildings line both sides of the street further up. Street trolley tracks along the\nstreet, and at least one trolley car. Cedar and Center and Washington streets are all\nvisible one after another to the left of Pacific Ave.\n\nThe First Congregational Church was at the corner of Center St. and Lincoln St., now the\nlocation of the Santa Cruz Boys and Girls Club, before it moved to the present High St.\nlocation in 1958. Laurel School was an imposing three story building, with a tower,\n\n6\n\n�before it was replaced by a new school building in 1931, now the Louden Nelson\nCommunity Center.\nThe Hagemann Hotel is easy to identify from the 1905 edition of the Sanborn fire\ninsurance maps, including details such as the outside staircase in the back. The Santa\nCruz public library has a set of Sanborn maps, and all Sanborn maps for all cities and\ntowns in California, from 1867 to 1970, are available on-line for download and printing\nfrom the San Francisco and San Jose public library websites. You do need a S.F. or San\nJose library card, which anyone can obtain at any library branch in San Francisco or San\nJose, you don’t need to be a local resident.\nThe First Presbyterian Church has moved on to the corner of Mission St. and Highland\nAve, and the Town Clock is now standing by itself at the top end of Pacific Ave. Some\nearthquake damage to the roof is visible in the area of the old County Courthouse. It\nwas substantially damaged in the 1906 quake, but was repaired and survived on, most\nrecently as the Cooper House, until the 1989 quake.\n26. Sunshine Villa: the home of James Smith, who starting in 1895 helped promote an\nannual Venetian Water Carnival on the San Lorenzo River. Later the building became the\nMcCray hotel, and inspired the setting for the Bates mansion in Hitchcock's movie\nPsycho. Today it is called Sunshine Villa again, an assisted living retirement center.\n27. Golden Gate Villa: distinctive large corner tower, and well preserved today at 924 Third\nStreet, on Beach Hill.\n28. Chinatown: the old Chinatown was located between Pacific Ave. and the river, on the far\nside of the bridge. The large building on this side of the bridge is a Naval Armory.\n29. Soquel St. Bridge: a covered bridge, the roof is a lighter color. Wooden bridges were\ncovered to help reduce maintenance. This bridge was built high, in 1874, to clear floods,\nand replaced by a concrete bridge in 1921. After the river was channeled in the 1950’s,\nbridges were built lower. But then the Corps of Engineers decided there was still a flood\ndanger, and bridges were built higher again.\n30. Branciforte: one of only three pueblos, or towns, in colonial California. The oldest home\nstill in use in Santa Cruz is an adobe building at the north end of Branciforte Ave. The\nresidents of Branciforte were apparently mostly ex-convicts, who used Branciforte Ave.\nas a horse racing track, to the scandal of the missionaries across the river. Perhaps that's\nwhy their settlement never quite rivaled San Jose or Los Angeles, the other two pueblos.\n\n7\n\n�31. Lynch House: built by Sedgwick J. Lynch, an early Santa Cruz builder, at 174 West Cliff\nDr. Described as \"the finest residence in Santa Cruz\" when it was built in 1877, and now\nrestored as a bed-and-breakfast. Apparently it always stood alone, separated from other\nhomes.\n32. West Cliff RR Overpass: was a working bridge in 1906, then rebuilt after the 1989\nearthquake and now in use again.\n33. Cowell Beach: perhaps got its name from Cowell Wharf next to it.\n34. Jordan and Davis Wharf (later Cowell Wharf): the first wharf in Santa Cruz, originally\nbuilt at this location by Elihu Anthony in 1849. In 1906 it was owned by the Henry Cowell\nLimeworks, but broke into two parts in a storm a year later, at the end of 1907. The pier\nis an extension of Bay St., which was an important commercial route, to avoid hauling\nlumber, lime, and other heavy cargo through downtown. In this picture you can see a\nwagon train, with pairs of horses pulling two large wagons, crossing the small bridge on\nBay St. in front of the lagoon, heading to the wharf.\n35. Railroad Wharf: built by the South Pacific Coast Railroad in 1875. The railroad tracks ran\nall the way out to the end of the wharf, which was torn down in 1922.\n36. Municipal Wharf site: the city built the present Municipal Wharf here in 1914, just east\nof the Railroad Wharf, because the Southern Pacific had decided to stop maintaining the\nRailroad Wharf. The wharf was built as long as it is to attract deep water ships with 30\nft. draft. The deep water ships did not come, but it is the longest wharf on the West\ncoast.\n37. Sea Beach Hotel: a first class hotel, like the Del Monte in Monterey. And a fine location,\nright on the bay, but it burned down to the ground six years later, on June 12th, 1912.\nEver since then, for an entire century, the question has been raised regularly whether\nSanta Cruz needs another first class hotel.\n\n8\n\n�38. Tent City: rows of tent cabins, on wooden floors, built to house visitors. This was the last\nyear of the tent cabins, and in 1907 they were replaced by simple wooden cottages.\nAlong Beach St. there were various heated saltwater bath houses, where visitors could\nenjoy the health benefits of bathing in saltwater without going into the chilly ocean.\n39. Boardwalk Casino site: the old Boardwalk Casino building, a wooden building with\nturrets in Moorish style, burned down on June 22, 1906, together with the seawater\nPlunge pool building next door. But already on June 25 all the wreckage had been\ncleared, and work began that day on a new wooden floor on top of the pilings of the old\nCasino. On June 30, less than a week later, the Boardwalk began erecting a tent over\nthat floor to use as a temporary structure for the summer.\nHere you can see the blackened charred pilings of the old casino foundations along the\nbeach edge. And on the right side of that charred area is a bright shining feature, which\nis the concrete Plunge swimming pool, it survived the fire even though the Plunge\nbuilding also burned down to the pilings.\nSo probably the picture was taken on June 24, 1906, when they'd cleared the wreckage\nbut before they started putting down the new Casino floor. And perhaps George\nLawrence was motivated to come over to Santa Cruz by the news of the Casino fire, just\nas the S.F. earthquake and fire brought him out from Chicago.\n40. Pleasure Pier: built in 1904 to carry seawater to the indoor pool in the plunge building.\nFirst called the Electric Pier, because it was lighted at night, it was demolished in 1965,\nwhen the plunge was converted to a miniature golf course.\n41. San Lorenzo River: the river is in its original natural state, meandering through the town,\nbefore the Corps of Engineers channeled it in the 1950's. The island near the river\nmouth was called Opera Island, and was used to stage performances for audiences on\nthe river banks. The railroad bridge is the present steel bridge, which replaced the\noriginal wooden bridge.\n\n9\n\n�42. Loma Prieta: distinctive outline of this peak hasn't changed. Bare clear cut hills\neverywhere in the picture, after the first wave of logging in the mountains.\n\n43. Eaton Ave. Bridge: railroad bridge, older than the present steel bridge.\n44. Seacliff Beach: a very narrow strip of beach in 1906, and neighborhood inland quite\nundeveloped. The present yacht harbor jetty has trapped much more sand and enlarged\nthe beach.\n45. Yacht Harbor: just a lagoon back then, Wood's Lagoon.\n46. Schwan Lake: now part of Twin Lakes State Beach. You can see the streetcar trestle by\nthe ocean, as well as a railroad trestle further inland. The pilings of the streetcar trestle\ncan be seen now often at low tides off Twin Lakes beach.\n47. Black's Point: small rocky point. On this side of the point is Black's Beach, located today\nat the end of 13th Ave.\n48. Capitola: town itself not visible, but at the same location on the coastline today.\n\nSource\nThe original copy of this panoramic photograph is in the Library of Congress.
