On the 100th anniversary of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, the [http://www.bernalhistoryproject.org/ Bernal Heights History Project] conducted [http://www.bernalhistoryproject.org/BernalShacks.html historical walking tours] of the neighborhood, in search of the [http://www.outsidelands.org/shacks.php 1906 earthquake shacks] that have become incorporated into the housing on the hill. Here are some of the addresses visited.<br />

'''About 150 people gathered and divided into three groups. We all started at this place at 43 Carver, which consists of two "B" shacks joined together, and now obviously still quite a quaint place to live.'''<br />

The first occupants of the earthquake shacks at '''43 Carver''' were Theodore and Domicella Ferenz, Polish immigrants who had previously lived on 11th St in the City before the '06 fire and quake destroyed the area. Theodore Ferenz built the hall between the two shacks, installed the plumbing in the back at a later time. In the beginning, he built an outhouse in the open yard to the left. The outhouse and chicken coops were still there when the house was bought in 1973. One of their children, Helene Critler, who died in April, 2006, right after the centennial of the Great Earthquake and Fire ("I wouldn't know anything about that, would I," she said), recounted many stories about living at 43 Carver, including going down to the cellar to fill oil lamps, and using buckets to catch water in the leaking hall between the two shacks.<br />
