Presenting several galleries of photos from an old album of promotional photos compiled by Jim Weil and his sister, Lucia Harris , of the original Muir Beach Company , which sold the lots on the lower, Pacific and Sunset Way, portions of Muir Beach.
It is my understanding that they named the community Muir Beach , feeling that the association with the world famous Muir Woods would help locate and promote the new community. I have heard that the old lots, only about 35 by 100 feet, were even given away with subscriptions to the San Francisco Examiner , as a promotion. If anyone finds any written evidence for this I would enjoy adding it to the website.
Any additional information, an ecdotes, nostalgia, photos, documents, recollections, will be gladly accepted for addition to this collection, and many have been already. The additional galleries listed below contain not only old maps and aerial shots, but snapshots from different families, resident or just visiting.
