The start of the tour was made from
the Pacific Mail dock at the corner of
First and Brannan streets. TRAVELLING
along the north line of Brannan, the
fire ate its way to Second. where it
crossed the street and consumed the
warehouse of the great wine firm of
Lachman & Jacob at the southeast
corner of Brannan and Second.
Thence it moved along the west side of
Second to Townsend and along the
north line of Townsend to Seventh.
On this particular front it licked up
the great building of the Southern
Pacific at the corner of Fourth and
Townsend streets This building was
formerly the main offices of the system
under the Huntington regime, but of
late years had been used by the audi
