Amazing, only three years after the 1906 quake, there did not appear to be much damage.

I noticed that too.
I am betting this may be of a later date. The cars look too advanced for 1909 but I am not a vintage car buff so I donno.
Either way, it’s fascinating. But wimp.com has it attributed as 1905:

Because it was done in 1905...http://www.wimp.com/sanfrancisco/
I was talking to my wife about that exact fact. Three years on from the quake and Market St. looks grand. Big, wide and full of large buildings. Heading North towards Embarcadero - which looks to be in very good condition - see the clock tower.
I thought that too. The longer version on YouTube identifies it as 1905, a year before the quake. The Ferry Building is in the background, I think....

I think the correct date of the film is 1905. Look on youtube; there are other SF post-earthquake films/pix. The devastation was incredible.
