Ruins of the Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, CaL 

 By W. G. Wright. 



(Plate IX) 



This view was taken during a rainstorm after the fire of 

 April 18, 1906, and is more of a side view than a front view. 

 The street along which men are walking is Market Street. 



The main entrance to the Academy is the arched opening 

 under the left electric light. 



The most of the front of the building is fallen down, but 

 some three or four windows of the front part are shown in the 

 photo. 



The Museum Building is at the left, the walls mostly stand- 

 ing nearly intact, but it is licked clean by fire, inside, and 

 probably is unfit for rebuilding. 



The space in front of, or at the right of the Museum Build- 

 ing, and between it and Market Street, was occupied by fine 

 stores on the ground floor, and by suites of offices in the upper 

 stories ; from the rental of these stores and offices the Academy 

 received its chief income.
