This four-node cubic VR panorama is of one of Oakland's lesser-known but most historic buildings. It was designed by reknown architect Julia Morgan, who is interred in the neighboring Mountain View Cemetary.

In 1851, in the midst of the rapid growth brought on by the Gold Rush, an anonymous photographer captured San Francisco in its entirety. The original seven panel daguerreotype, taken from First and Howard Streets, is one of the earliest and most historic photographic recordings of the city.
