San Francisco and the architecture of the redwood lumber industry
xvi, 347 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm.
In City of Wood, architectural historian James Buckley explores San Francisco's rapid urban development as a product of the physical and economic transformation of the natural environment of the American West. San Francisco is best known as a product of the gold and silver that were mined from California's mountains and streams, but as Buckley shows, the city's growth was in fact fueled by a wide range of natural resources that could be converted into marketable commodities. City of Wood investigates the architecture of a typical Western resource industry, redwood lumber, to determine how the exploitation of California's natural resources shaped the built environment of both San Francisco and its broader hinterland.
