[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 1725654, member: 4910"]This small museum is located in the Bank of California building at 400 California Street, near Sansome. The Greek style building dates from 1908. The bank is now called the Union Bank but the old name remains engraved on the building. It has lots of items from the time of the California gold rush in 1849 up to the early 1900's, including many government and private gold coins and coin sets. Also there are pistols used in a famous duel, photographs of early bank employees functions, picnics, and other events.
