George Chevalier - Photo Album 1 |
1912, At this time, the future San Pablos Street was the only road up to the wooden quarters, by the start of the Sosa Hill path. Tavernilla St. will come up from the Clubhouse, cross San Pablo and go down to the left of the steam plant. Ruins of the closest two wooden houses were to be found behind Bldg 790 later. The bleached out area of the photo is looking at the future Amador area.
August 1914, View from Ancon Hill with houses still under construction on San Pablo and Tavernilla Streets. The churches of St. Mary's and Balboa Union have not been started as yet. Below on Balboa Rd. is the old Balboa P.O. on the right. To it's left is the Lodge Hall School followed by three bachelors qtrs.
November 1914, Tavernilla Street is through to La Boca Rd and on the left side are Qtrs: 790, 794, 796. On the right side are Qtrs: 789, 791, 793 with constuction still going on. Also seen is #798 behind left side qtrs. on bluff overlooking where the USO will later be.
