The Fairmont Hotel opened a year to the day after the 1906 quake.

”...at 5:12 AM, a shot like a cannon resounded through the City, and three foot waves rolled through the landfill that was downtown, while church bells rang cacophonously all at the same time, tolling a din that would be remembered forever. And what of The Fairmont? Remarkably, it still stood, looking relatively unharmed although there was some structural damage to the interior. Photographs taken at the time show The Fairmont standing proud, Parthenon-like at the top of the hill, whilst all around there was devastation and rubble.”
