He worked from the 1920's into the early 1950's under the name Zan of Tamalpais. He was the official photographer of the Redwood Empire Association from 1936. Zan photographed the California coast from Monterey Co., Big Sur, the Redwood Highway and most of Northern California and also up into Oregon. He also photographed in San Francisco, Sonoma County, Napa Co., Santa Cruz Co., Del Norte Co., Lake Tahoe, Donner Lake and over into Nevada and Utah.

Completed in 1910, this historic building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Its architecture, designed by James Knox Taylor, is mixed, reflecting several styles. It initially served as a customhouse, in addition to being a courthouse and post office. Notable examples of New Deal art were created for the building. Mining and Forestry and Water and Land, two tempera on canvas murals by Thomas Laman, were commissioned in 1938 by the Treasury Relief Art Project and were on display in the post office until the building was sold to a private party in 2002. The murals were restored and are currently on display in the new United States Courthouse (McKinleyville, California). GENERAL: Please ask any questions and know what you are buying before you bid.
