Kodachrome footage of the San Francisco World's Fair, held on Treasure Island.
Video: Prelinger Archive, original filmmaker unknown
1997 view of Treasure Island from Yerba Buena Island just to its south. Building in lower right is being used as a movie studio, while the entire island is about to be given back to the city of San Francisco. There is a lot of seismic and toxic mitigation work ahead to make it useful. The building in the center was a Nazi airport in an Indiana Jones movie.
