Note the rooftop advertisement for Ford’s Daguerrean Gallery, which was located at the southeast corner of Clay and Kearny Streets on the third floor. There appears to be another Daguerrean Gallery advertised on the building one block to the south: this may have been William Vance’s “Opposition Daguerrean Rooms,” on the southeast corner of Montgomery and Clay.
