THIS was filmed 4 days before the Earthquake of 1906. It was filmed by 4 brothers, Joseph, Earle, Harry, and Herbert Miles. It was kept in the family, and released to public just a few years ago. The family relative that released it was interviewed, and the interviews pointed out that in all likelihood, some of the people in the film died just 4 days later in the quake.

[@bbailey7818]

Thanks. I thought both the number of cars and the models had to be later than 1900.

I love that someone decided to film what life was like then. It’s better than photos. You see people walking around, living their lives, driving like jackasses because apparently there were no traffic laws... But the perspective is wonderful. It gives you the feeling that you’re there, in that time and place.

[@beamer6136]

Id say the motion camera was a big deal back then.. You always see people look at camera like its a alien... This may sound stupid, but i always think about how all these people are dead, and wonder if they ever thought what it would be like in the future even up to today 2020. Its like us wondering 2140. Just neat to watch them going about their daily lives, working going home to the family.

There is a haunting quality about this, and a melancholy sadness. The people, cars, buildings, that were once as real as you and I, that seemed so solid and lasting, but in reality as ephemeral as a dream. Becoming, (like us) fiction and memory by degree.

Lot of people always say how it would be great to have a time machine and go back in time to see those days long gone. In my opinion the best would be to get someone on that street and bring him to our time just to see his expression when he sees how the city (and the world) has changed in over a hundred years. I'm sure it would be priceless. And for whoever filmed this, even tho its obvious hes dead, thank you for this wonderful piece of history.

Yep the pace of life was slower back then. Rules and restrictions weren't really needed on streets until cars started to hit the roads. Then because there were so many traffic related deaths strict rules had to be introduced and its stayed that way ever since.

I love the people that are redoing these films and slowing down and fixing them. You see wind blowing in real time and other things. We only had keystone cops type movements. I sew and have vintage machines including a 1919 treadle. I look up what fashions were made on my machines. When I see these old films in real human motion I can see the dresses they made with these machines and how they looked wearing them. I know, not many dresses in this one to see up close but have been watching a lot of them. It’s really interesting how jay walking was thing though, huh?

I’m always fascinated by film like this. What a treasure! This was a unique time in cities across America when the roads were full of both cars and horse driven carriages.

Sharing the road with the Trolley, horse and buggy, automobiles, and pedestrians. No stop lights, no cross walks, jay walking is the norm, what Mayhem. Nothing can move very fast or you would kill all of the pedestrians.

[@marcilk7534]

Global Awareness I did notice they still drove on the right side of the road, and the slower horse and buggies moved out of the way for the cars to pass. They created somewhat of their own order.

[@marcilk7534]

Don Comer I think the stop light is pretty brilliant and works really well. Their one stop light was a tourist destination in Abaco Bahamas. You’re welcome to develop a better system.

[@lw3646]

Rules and regulations weren't really needed back then and there was a messy kind of freedom. It was though generally considered polite to allow a lady to pass on the sidewalk so she didn't have to walk in the mud or muck. Once cars started hitting the roads there were thousands of fatalities. After some successful lobbying new laws were drawn up basically giving private cars priority. The street cars began to vanish and by the 1950s huge highways were constructed through American cities.

[@jvhobson]

It does! It's the Ferry Building. Even though I've lived in San Francisco since 1997, it was the only building I could recognize today.

[@RaymondHng]

The Ferry Building still stands to this day. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoqreJ1nbrelfJI I've worked in that building back in the 1980s. The Flood Building (been inside many countless times) and the Call Building exist today as well.

@The Radio Vault-The World War II Years 1938-45 Most people def lived well over 30. The average life span is short because a lot of babies died in childbirth or a few years after birth, which brought the average lifespan down. Once you survived childhood though, I would save the average would be late 50's or 60's.

I’m only 32 and I remember meeting my Great Great Grandparents youngest daughter whenever I was a kid she was born in 1909 and I remember her talking about what life was like back then.

[@SaintSeja]

My great grand uncles emmigrated to the US around 1900. So that's what they saw when they arrived (although they settled down in St. Paul, MN and not in San Fransisco). It is fascinating. I didn't even know I had relatives in the US until I found a family tree online, of a person who had the same great-great grandparents than me and of course, the same family name :-)

[@newstart49]

My dad use to tell me stories of the Model T (Tin Lizzy). The way it could take your arm off when turning the crank to start the engine if it backfired- they later fixed that. Having to go up steep hills backwards because the gas tanks feeder hose was on the front of the tank. You might have to stop where you were and take the drain pan off and replace the rod bearings right there. He would explain his trips hitching a ride on a train and trying not to get caught. The railroad guys would beat you with bats if they caught you. I wish I had written all that stuff down. And THAT is the real Santa Clause at 11:24!
