M. O’Shaughnessy photograph collection was received by The Bancroft Library from two sources. The first portion waspurchased from Butterfield & Butterfield on March 6, 1992. The second, and much larger portion, was given to The BancroftLibrary by Elizabeth O’Shaughnessy on August 15, 1992.The material donated by Miss O’Shaughnessy formed the manuscript collection, BANC MSS 92/808. The photographs weretransferred from BANC MSS 92/808, and merged with BANC PIC 1992.058. The rationale was that all the material wasoriginally part of a single collection, and that there was no apparent reason to leave them as two separate collections.There was no attempt to distinguish the items originally contained in the purchase from those originally contained in thegift.AccrualsNo additions are expected.Biographical InformationMichael Maurice (M. M.) O’Shaughnessy was born in Limerick, Ireland, on May 28, 1864, the son of Patrick and Margaret(O’Donnell) O’Shaughnessy. One of nine children, he was educated in the public schools in Ireland, and attended Queen’sCollege, Cork, and then in Galway. He graduated with honors from the Royal University, Dublin on October 21,1884, andreceived the degree of Bachelor of Engineering.0n March 8, 1885, O’Shaughnessy sailed for America and ten days later reached New York City, then proceeded on to SanFrancisco, arriving on March 30, 1885. He began his career working as Assistant Engineer, first for the Sierra Valley andMohawk Railroad (1885-1886) and later for Southern Pacific Railroad (1886-1888) at various locations throughoutCalifornia. He began private consulting as a civil engineer in August 1888, and undertook the surveying and engineering ofland developments in California, laying out a number of small towns. From 1890 to 1898, he was in general engineeringpractice in California, with an office in San Francisco. He served as Chief Engineer of the 1893 California Mid-winterInternational Exposition; was Chief Engineer for the Mountain Copper Company and built 12 miles of narrow-gauge railroadin Shasta, California in 1895; and completed projects for several corporations, including the Spring Valley Water Company.From 1899 to 1906, O’Shaughnessy was engaged in the design and construction of four large irrigation and hydraulic projects on about twenty sugar plantations in the Hawaiian Islands, including Olokele Aqueduct, Kauai; Koolau Aqueduct,
BANC PIC 1992.058 4
Maui; and Kohola Aqueduct, Hawaii. From 1907 to 1912, he served as both Chief Engineer and Consulting Engineer for JohnD. and Adolph Spreckels’ Southern California Mountain Water Company in San Diego, and completed the Dulzura Conduitand Morena Rock Fill Dam. Other work during this period included Throttle Dam (New Mexico), channel rectification on theSalinas River for Spreckels Sugar Company, Crocker-Huffman Dam on the Merced River, and development of the waterworks at Port Costa.On September 1, 1912, O’Shaughnessy was appointed City Engineer by Mayor James Rolph, and received a yearly salary of$15,000—almost double that of his predecessor. He held the position for twenty years – until January 8, 1932, when a newCity Charter was adopted that separated the ordinary work of the City Engineer from that of its public utilities, including themunicipal water supply. On February 8, 1932, the newly formed Public Utilities Commission appointed him ConsultingEngineer for Hetch Hetchy Water Supply, a position that he held until his death in 1934. Accomplishments during his tenureas San Francisco City Engineer include extensions of streets and sewers, design and construction of boulevards, tunnels,bridges, development of a high pressure fire system and fire alarm signal station, and municipally owned utilities, includinga street railway system and water supply and hydro-electric power projects.The major part of O’Shaughnessy’s time and interest were occupied with the Hetch Hetchy Water Supply project. FormerCity Engineer Carl E. Grunsky had selected the Tuolumne River as the source of water for San Francisco, but there werelengthy delays due to opposition from many sources. O’Shaughnessy’s immediate predecessor, Marsden Manson, kept theproject alive, and following engineer John R. Freeman’s report on the project in 1912, Congress approved President Wilson’sgrant of the federal lands to San Francisco. Construction work began in 1914 in the mountains and was finally completed in1934, when water first reached reservoirs. The work required building a railroad, power plants and transmission lines,several storage dams and reservoirs, and an aqueduct. During the lengthy period of construction, O’Shaughnessy resistedattacks by numerous opponents of the project who sought to stop the progress of the work. In July 1923, the dam at HetchHetchy Valley was dedicated in his honor, and officially given the name, O’Shaughnessy Dam.Throughout his career, O’Shaughnessy served as a consulting engineer for a wide variety of projects, including municipal,state and federal government endeavors, as well as corporate and private enterprise. Notable among these are water andpower projects throughout California, including Strawberry Dam (Stanislaus River); Lower Otay, Barrett and El CapitanDams (San Diego); Alpine Dam (Marin County); Bowman Dam (Yuba River); and Juncal Dam (Santa Barbara); and elsewherein the U.S., including Skagit River, Seattle and Dix River, Kentucky. He advised on municipal transportation systems,including street railways in Detroit, Michigan and Tacoma, Washington, and waterfront development in Portland, Oregon.He also served in an advisory capacity for Marin County Municipal Water District and as Acting Commissioner of the watersof Lake Tahoe for the Department of the Interior. O’Shaughnessy was called upon as an expert witness in several landvaluation cases, and reported on his studies of earthquakes for the City of Santa Barbara, and on the St. Francis Damfailure.M. M. O’Shaughnessy was elected a Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers on June 4, 1902, and was active inthe San Francisco Section, serving as its President in 1920. He was a regular contributor to the publications of the Society,and in 1913 won the James Laurie Prize for his article on the construction of Morena Dam, the largest rock fill dam in theworld. He was a member of the American Water Works Association, American Society of Military Engineers, AmericanSociety for Testing Materials, and the Seismological Society, and regularly lectured to engineering students at StanfordUniversity, University of Santa Clara, and the University of California, Berkeley.In 1890, M. M. O’Shaughnessy married Mary Spottiswood of San Francisco. They had four daughters (Margaret, Mary,Elizabeth, and Helen) and two sons (Francis J. and Maurice, who died in early childhood). In 1893, O’Shaughnessy built asummer cottage at 60 Summit Avenue, Mill Valley, which eventually evolved into a 3-story, 10-room home with a tenniscourt, barn, and gardens laid out by John McLaren, the designer of Golden Gate Park. In 1912, O’Shaughnessy purchased2732 Vallejo Street as the family’s San Francisco residence, although they continued to spend summers in Mill Valley. Hewas a member of the Commonwealth Club of California, University Club, Chit Chat Club, Presidio Golf Club, Save theRedwoods League, and the American Irish Historical Society, and throughout his life remained an active member of theRoman Catholic Church.M. M. O’Shaughnessy died of heart failure on October 12, 1934, just a few days before the mountain water from HetchHetchy flowed into the reservoirs.Sources include:Memoirs: Michael Maurice O’Shaughnessy, American Society of Civil Engineers, 1934.Scope and Content of CollectionThe M.M. O’Shaughnessy photograph collection contains photographic prints, film negatives, photographically illustrated reports, albums, cartoons, lantern slides and ephemera from 1887 to 1986. The majority relate to M.M. O’Shaughnessy’s professional life as a civil engineer, working first as a consultant in private practice, and later as City Engineer of San Francisco. The bulk of the collection documents the construction of the Hetch Hetchy Water Supply system, which
BANC PIC 1992.058 5
O’Shaughnessy directed during his tenure as City Engineer of San Francisco. In addition, there is some material relating tohis personal life and family.The collection has been divided into three series. The first two series, Consulting Engineer and Miscellaneous ProfessionalMaterial, and San Francisco City Engineer, contain photographs of engineering projects he supervised or was consulted for.A good portion of these photographs were taken by professional photographers, both identified and unidentified. Theremaining photographs are snapshots probably taken by M.M. O’Shaughnessy. The third series, Personal, Family andMiscellany contain photographs of M.M. O’Shaughnessy and his family, and miscellaneous ephemera collected by them.As a consulting engineer, M.M. O’Shaughnessy worked on projects at various locations throughout California and the West.Most of the projects represented in the Consulting Engineer and Miscellaneous Professional Related Material series arerelated to water engineering, especially dams. His early career is represented by photographs of irrigation projects forvarious sugar plantations in Hawaii. When he returned to California, he became Chief Engineer of the Southern CaliforniaMountain Water Company. The collection includes photographs of the many dams and water systems in San Diego Countyincluding Morena Dam.In 1912, when M.M. O’Shaughnessy was appointed City Engineer of San Francisco, he became responsible for majorredevelopment as he directed municipal projects undertaken by the city after the earthquake and fire of 1906. Theseincluded major thoroughfare projects, the San Francisco Municipal Railway, the city’s Civic Center, bridges, and sewagesystems, many of which are documented in this collection. Also included in the collection are aerial views of the city,various city events, and miscellaneous subjects mostly related to San Francisco during the time of O’Shaughnessy’s tenureas City Engineer.One of the largest challenges O’Shaughnessy faced in his career was the construction of the Hetch Hetchy Water Supplysystem for the city of San Francisco. Visual documentation related to the project forms a sub-series under San FranciscoCity Engineer, and constitutes the bulk of the entire collection. The photographs date from early planning surveys in theSierra Nevada Mountains in 1906 to the 1934 “holing through” of the Coast Range Tunnel, which provided for the arrival ofmountain water to the local San Francisco distribution system later that year.O’Shaughnessy documented the projects he supervised by taking snapshots, and writing travel diaries and notes while oninspection trips to work sites. He also relied on professional photographers to record the stages of construction. Later hewould create reports and albums using collected photographs, or his own snapshots, to show what he thought wasimportant in the development of the project. A single report or album can span several years of a project, or focus on asingle day. Included are brief annotations with the images, or several pages of text. The photographic reports and albumsare listed within the subjects’ corresponding series. Travel diaries, notes and text reports are found in manuscriptcollection, M.M. (Michael Maurice) O’Shaughnessy papers, BANC MSS 92/808 c.Many views of construction projects present in thie collection were taken by San Francisco City Photographer Horace B.Chaffee. Of note are those he photographed in the Sierra Nevada Mountains documenting the Hetch Hetchy system. Otheridentified photographers within the collection include, Francis P. Farquhar (Hetch Hetchy before construction), GabrielMoulin (Exchequer Dam and O’Shaughnessy Dam and Hetch Hetchy Reservoir), Frank D. Robinson (Exchequer Dam),Charles M. Hiller (Islais Creek reclamation), R.P. Stineman (Lower and Upper Otay Dams, Morena Dam and SweetwaterDam), O.J. Todd (Early Intake), and I.W. Taber (copy prints of historic views of San Francisco area).The original order of the collection is not known, but it is known that the collection has changed since MM O’Shaughnessyleft it when he died. The collection survived a fire at the O’Shaughnessy home in 1987. The Bancroft Library staff hasreassembled the collection to its present state.Three distinct collections of photographs, originally found with this collection, were removed and given separate callnumbers. These included the family photographs of Harry Maurice Guy (BANC PIC 1992.081), the Sheehy and Rodmanfamily (BANC PIC 1992.083), and the photograph collection of Russian Countess Irina Tolstoy (BANC PIC 1992.082). Therelation of these people to M.M. O’Shaughnessy and/or his daughters has not been determined.The collection does include some modern photographic prints. These are selections of unprinted negatives printed by theLibrary Photographic Service. Many negatives were discarded during processing because of deterioration.NoteA small number photographs have been retained within the M.M. O’Shaughnessy papers, BANC MSS 92/808 c. These arephotographs that have been determined to be integral to the accompanying reports and textual records. The location of thephotos are noted in the container listing of manuscript finding aid under the related folder.

The Hawaii and San Diego, Calif. projects (San Diego Water Supply) aregrouped together. The name, organization or company responsible for construction isincluded in the container listing when known. The snapshots were probably taken by M.M.O’Shaughnessy.Photographs prior to O’Shaughnessy’s 1912 appointment as City Engineer of SanFrancisco include the irrigation aqueducts constructed for various sugar plantations onthe Hawaiian Islands (1899-1906). Another large group of photographs is of projectscompleted by O’Shaughnessy while he was Chief Engineer of the Southern CaliforniaMountain Water Co. in San Diego (1907-1912), including the Morena Dam (the largestrock-fill dam in the world upon its completion, and the only dam in its region to withstandthe devastating flood of 1916). Around 1912-1914, the City of San Diego purchased thewater system built by the Southern California Mountain Water Co.Throughout his career as San Francisco City Engineer and after, M.M. O’Shaughnessy wasinvolved with numerous engineering projects as either a consultant or advisor. Amongthe projects pictured are the Throttle Dam in New Mexico; the new Lower Otay andBarrett Dams in San Diego County; the Skagit River Power Plant for Seattle, Washington;the Detroit Urban Railway system; the new Bowman Dam in Grass Valley; and the JuncalDam in Santa Barbara County.
