Why it's on the map

A new California Theatre, opened on the site on May 18, 1889, but was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire, but it never regained its former status after Ralston's death in 1875 and McCullough's departure in 1877.

In 1933, the site was registered as California Historical Landmark #86.
