74 items

San Francisco State University has been in three separate sites since it was established in 1862. Originally, it was located downtown at Powell Street near Clay Street then called the San Francisco State Normal School. This collection contains images of those two early campuses and images of the early San Francisco State College campus we inhabit today.
