Ruins of original San Francisco State Normal School campus
About This Item
The original campus for San Francisco State Normal School was completely destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. Despite the total destruction of the building and records, President Frederic Lister Burk temporarily moved the Normal School to Oakland’s Grant School within weeks. Students were ferried to Oakland for eleven weeks until a new site could be obtained in San Francisco’s Western Addition, a city block bordered by Buchanan, Haight, Laguna, and Waller streets.
