Here’s a look at the past. Items have been culled from The Chronicle’s archives of 25, 50, 75 and 100 years ago.

1985

April 16: Changing times are sending Hibernia Bank’s branch at Jones and Market streets, a city landmark since 1892, into genteel retirement. The bank said it will close in June and the elegant building will be converted into an administration office. The bank, designed by Albert Pissis, was described by Willis Polk as “the most beautiful building in the city.” The exterior features Corinthian columns and a green dome. The interior is a temple of commerce – the floor is marble and the long rows of tellers’ windows are made of fine polished wood. In its glory days, the bank was the crown jewel of the middle part of Market Street. Those were the days when ladies dressed up to go downtown, the St. Francis Theater across the street showed first-run movies, and the Jones Street cable car stopped at the door.

1960

April 11: Candlestick Park, San Francisco’s new baseball stadium, opens to the public tomorrow as the Giants begin their 1960 season. And the pear-shaped stadium is one of the few in the world designed for pear-shaped people. Architect John S. Boles said the stadium was designed for comfort. General admission seats are 20 to 22 inches wide – more than ample for the bulge on most human rears. The structure is also the only stadium in the world with facilities to keep many of the seats warm on chilly afternoons and evenings. A radiant heating system is installed in the second tier with 20,000 reserved seats, utilizing hot water circulating through more than 35,000 feet of piping beneath the seats.

April 15: An enormous traffic jam snarled Bayshore Freeway last night for the first night game at Candlestick Park. Other troubles that plagued the fans included the failure of the radiant heating system. Many of the 32,000 spectators were late for the first pitch because of the traffic jam. The clogged and irritating traffic was blamed on the fact that fans were failing to use public transport. As for the radiant heating, it was cool when spectators sat down. Even by 10:30 the warmth of the pipes appeared to make no appreciable difference to the comfort of the spectators. Frank Sagmeister, maintenance superintendent, said that the system was tested for seven hours about two months ago and failed to warm the seats.

1935

April 11: The Light Horse is coming to town. Or maybe it should be “are coming to town,” because the Light Horse (is or are) a bunch of Hollywood soccer players who form as colorful a unit as ever graced any soccer field. The boys, led by Victor McLaglen himself, the man’s man of the cinema, will be here Sunday to play at Ewing Field against the local Rovers in a state cup game. The Light Horse is coming here with 200 troupers of both sexes, most of them dolled up in uniform of one kind or another. McLaglen himself is going to have his best soldier suit for the occasion, and has promised that the spigots will be turned on and the ale will flow freely below the grandstand. The team will be met in the morning by the 45-piece Sciot band and its drill team, will be greeted by military maneuvers, such as forming an arch with sabers, then will parade to the Whitcomb Hotel and more sabers. Finally everyone will go to Ewing Field for more saber arches. And finally, soccer.

1910

April 16: Detective Tim Riordan made the biggest capture in police annals yesterday. It was Jolly Trixie, otherwise known as Miss Kitty Plunkett, who tips the scales at a disputed 685 pounds, whose hips measure 92 inches, bust 84 inches and calf 36 inches. She was arrested for allegedly violating the Penal Code, and is accused of being deformed and exhibiting her deformity in a Fillmore Street show house. “Bring the lady some chairs,” said Police Judge Shortall politely as Trixie was called. There was a noticeable swaying of the courtroom floor when the defendant approached the judge’s desk. She mounted the judge’s platform and stood smiling at his honor. “This lady does not appear deformed to me,” said Judge Shortall. She smiled and said: “Thank you. I want to make a statement. I do not weigh 685 pounds, as has been stated, but only 585 pounds. “Did you lose flesh in the City Prison?” asked Judge Shortall. “No: in Los Angeles,” she answered. Two physicians testified that Miss Plunkett was perfectly symmetrical and was by no means deformed. “Obesity is not deformity,” said one of the medical heights sententiously. “Thank heaven for that,” muttered Detective John Collins, who chanced to hear the remark. “The case will be continued for advisement,” said Judge Shortall. “I am far from convinced that this lady is anything but charming.” {sbox}
