San Francisco’s Gilded Age

Welcome to a site in its infancy! Featured are stories about my San Francisco-born grandmother Agnes Lilly Tillmann (1889-1982) and her circle of family and friends.

Infancy means some untidiness, so forgive loose ends. And content is especially thin now, but the pipeline is filled with tales of early San Francisco. Enjoy your visit!
