This film from 1906 in downtown San Francisco was made 4 days before the great earthquake destroyed the city at 5:12 AM on April 18th, 1906. It is filmed from the front of a cable car, heading east toward the ferry terminal building, which is the tower in the background (which survived the quake and still stands today). Filmed by the Miles Brothers, 14 April, 1906
Great camera-work canny, I guess this is one of your earliest home movies?
Rest assured, Bradford will one day generate enough wealth to be able to put cars on the road, too

Here's a film apparently of San Francisco AFTER the earthquake which I discovered completely by accident when trying to get a quick listen of Scott Walker's "Montague Terrace In Blue"

Had to kill the aggravating "music" but how incredible to see this.
How busy it was, and with all them pesky, new fangled, "horseless carriages", and the old buildings that looked old even back then!
