“Scapegoat: the 1871 to 1906 San Francisco City Hall” Film Night | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Art, Music and Recreation Center and the San Francisco History Center are pleased to host the screening of Scapegoat: the 1871 to 1906 San Francisco City Hall, which tells the story of the ornate and remarkable City Hall that San Francisco built for itself starting in 1871 and that was destroyed in the 1906 Earthquake and Firestorm. We will show this film in the Koret Auditorium, 200 feet from what was once this City Hall’s great colonnaded, public entry.

The Question and Answer period will include the filmmaker, Glenn Lym, joined by Paul V. Turner – Stanford emeritus professor of architectural history – and Chris Carlsson – San Francisco historian and founder of shapingsf.org and foundsf.org.

Glenn Lym is a practicing architect and documentary filmmaker in the South of Market.  He studied architecture at U.C. Berkeley and has a Ph.D. from Harvard University.  He has lived in San Francisco since 1978.

Photographic reproductions of the “old” City Hall from the archives of the San Francisco Historical Photograph Collection will be on display before and after the screening.
