My grandfather was John Spigno who was the partner with Giannini, who later went on with Bank of Italy and then into Bank of America in SF.

I think you found proof that Theodore Roosevelt was involved in a plot to destroy the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge. You have a photo of a suspicious person carrying unknown materials into the place where the bridge is no longer there.

Teddy Knew!

I always thought it odd that in the 1936 movie San Francisco, a special effect scene was done showing an iconic SF house being blown up for a firebreak. The house survived the 1906 earthquake. It wasn't so lucky in the 89 quake where the same house had to be demolished for real due to damage.
