Photograph of a view of Nob Hill, showing homes and the shipyard along the harbor point, ca.1890. A train of railroad cars is pictured to the right, parked on a track that skirts the edge of a giant pile of lumber in the ship yard. To the left, several small buildings that could either be shipping houses or homes are scattered in the foreground, while farther in the distance, a number of buildings more suggestive of a town can be seen on the ridge.

这张拍摄于约1890年的照片展现了诺布山（Nob Hill）的景致，画面中可见港区岬角沿岸的住宅与造船厂。画面右侧可见一列铁路车厢，停靠在造船厂内毗邻巨型木材堆边缘的轨道之上。画面左侧的前景区域散落着数栋小型建筑，它们既可作为货运仓库也可作为住宅；而在更远处的山脊上，则可见多栋颇具城镇风貌的建筑群。
