Dana Studio

[ShoeMan]

Thank you for your addition.
I do not think the Dana Studio of San Francisco was an extension of the Dana Studio on the East Coast.
The Dana Studio of San Francisco took their famous fight/fighters images in the early 1900's. I have to think their most famous images are of the Johnson vs Jeffries fight in 1910.
Also keep in mind that Edward Dana died in 1897 and the devastating San Francisco earthquake took place in 1906.

I stand corrected.

Try researching "Charles Percy Dana"

Thank you. I have searched and found very little. I was hoping someone in our community would have more details on the man and his studio.

I searched for Dana Studio in San Francisco on newspapers.com. Results for it run from 1910 to 1915. It seems to have moved around a bit: its address was listed as 1354 Fillmore from 1910 to 1912, as either 344 Kearny St. and 933 Market in different parts of 1913, and as 1003 Golden Gate Ave. in 1915.

The San Francisco Examiner and San Francisco Bulletin credit pictures from Dana Photo and Percy Dana Photo between 1904 and 1908, but I found no corresponding ads for Dana Photo like I did for Dana Studio.

This may be related: there was a P.F. Dana who ran McKinley's photo at 632 Market St. in 1901.

Also, on 1914-12-04 the San Francisco Chronicle said that Dana was managing the boxer Bill Sloane.

I found a picture of Dana in the Bulletin, 1906-12-03. At the time he was in Tonopah, on assignment to take pictures of the Gans-Herman fight.

Also attached are pictures he took for the Bulletin, presented 1906-8-22.

Found a reference that he was also located at 1487 Ellis St., S.F in 1906.

This is all good information.
I am still going to work on finding out more about the man himself and his business.
I found a few pictures of the Dana Building or what was the Dana Building at 212 Stockton Street after the earthquake. I don't know if they are related.
The earthquake could be a reason his business moved around ....just a theory.
