Buildings of Mare Island no longer there~
Architectural photographer William Porter discusses the important role of archival photography in recording and preserving historical building sites, as well as the visual preservation of numerous California historical buildings. Most recently he has documented the removal of historic structures on Mare Island, specifically including the dismantling of a number of old buildings, as well as one of the most recognizable relics of a bygone era, the Mare Island smokestack.
