Title	San Francisco earthquake damage, showing the ruins of California Street, 1906
Description	Photograph of San Francisco earthquake damage, showing the ruins of California Street, 1906. Mangled filing cabinets and metal desks stand amongst the sea of rubble in the foreground. The buildings in the foreground on the right suffered severe damage as large portions of their walls and roofs have crumbled. A large building behind them still stands in tact. Although the front walls of the buildings on the left suffered significant damage, the buildings still stand. People walk down the long street toward the cloud of dust in the distance.
