Nineteenth-century San Francisco went from a rough-and-tumble boomtown to a Victorian city with cosmopolitan ambitions. Its development was controlled by a small group of oligarchs: miners, industrialists, financiers and real estate speculators who hoped to forge a world-class metropolis in a single generation, enriching themselves in the process. Join panelists Chris Carlsson, social historian; Chris VerPlanck, architectural historian; Jeannene Przyblyski, artist, historian and professor at the San Francisco Art Institute; and exhibition curator Benjamin Grant.
