Newscopy: "GRANITE USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION of the Parrott block at California and Montgomery streets was brought from China in sailing vessels back in the 'days of old, the days of gold.' Chinese workmen were also imported to construct the building. So well did they build that the conflagration of 1906 had little effect on the structure. Old picture and new are so near alike it is hard to pick the one more than half century old.".
