Description: From Fremont in the south to Richmond in the north, the East Bay of San Francisco is a vibrant, energetic region of business and technological concerns, student populations, and residential neighborhoods-yet before the gold rush of 1849, much of the region was still farmland. Here are then-and-now views of the harbor at Oakland; the recently restored Golden Bear fountain at Berkeley’s Marin Circle; the Sather Gate on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, now with its original nude figures in place; and Five Corners in Irvington, from the horse-and-buggy era to today.

This is one of the titles in the Then and Now series, which pairs archival photographs with specially commissioned modern views of the same scene, showing how the most characteristic buildings and areas of the world’s great cities mark their progress over the past 100 years or so. Each book is typically illustrated with 70 black and white and 70 color photographs.
