Today is 120th Anniversary of the 1906 earthquake. The fire that followed burned three days and destroyed the central core of the city. Take a minute today & think about what it took to start over from scratch #sfmemory #sfhistory #1906earthquake

I owned a house on Ewing Terrance off of Masonic just south of Geary for few years in the early 1980's.
I'm not sure but this location may have been the site of one of these early cemeteries on what was then the western edge of town.
However, it is documented that this location was the site of a baseball field for awhile following the 1906 Earthquate & Fire, called Ewing Field, where the SF Seals played during the early 1900's, presumably after any gravesites located there were moved.
