Rare Complete Original 1922–1923 San Francisco Title Reconstruction File – Van Ness Avenue & Union Street

This is a full, intact original legal archive documenting the re-establishment of title to a specific parcel bounded by Van Ness Avenue and Union Street in San Francisco’s Western Addition (Block No. 45). Assembled in the years after the 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed the city’s public records, this file was created under California’s post-fire title reconstruction laws.

This is not a photocopy, abstract, fragment, or later transcript. It is the complete original court and title file preserved together as a single archive.

PROPERTY LOCATION

The property is specifically described by metes and bounds and bounded by:

• Van Ness Avenue

• Union Street

• Mess Avenue

• Western Addition, Block No. 45

Van Ness Avenue remains one of San Francisco’s most historically and commercially important thoroughfares. This file provides a direct, primary-source documentary link to a still-visible and highly significant location in the modern city.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

After the 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed San Francisco’s official records, property owners were required to legally reconstruct title through quiet-title actions and supporting documentation.

• Early 20th-century San Francisco real estate and legal procedure

• Western Addition property history

• The work of Title Insurance and Guaranty Company and attorney Norman A. Eisner
