 * The City of Paris was founded by Filix Verdier. || In 1849, Filix Verdier came to San Francisco in a boat loaded with silks, laces, fine wines, and champagne. || Before Filix Verdier got to San Francisco, he sold out of his merchandise, so he quickly turned back and came back with a lot more. ||
 * Filix wrote on the dome, "Float but not sink." || The ship that Verdier sailed on was the official seal of the City of Paris building. || The City of Paris building was torn down and replaced by the Neiman Marcus building in 1981. ||
