Ah, so that was just how the area developed after the earthquake, then. Around here by contrast, we had a very fashionable Victorian neighborhood that suddenly turned into a slum when Edith Vanderbilt developed a portion of the Biltmore Estate into
the new see-and-be-seen neighborhood. I was wondering if the forces behind Nob Hill's transformation had been manmade or just the new development pattern that emerged after the quake.
