Alteration
The bell tower of the 1st Unitarian Church #3 was replaced after the San Francisco Earthquake of 04/18/1906. This church was one of the very few buildings to withstand the earthquake and ensuing fire that destroyed about 80% of the existing city. According to the 1st Unitarian-Universalist Church's own web site, the building was also "...renovated with seismic, accessibilty and aesthetic improvements in 1968."
