Photograph of an exterior view of Grace Church, showing earthquake damage, California, 1906. Two men in fine suits and hats stand in the foreground on the right, the one furthest to the left holding his hand over his face. The large church with tall, arched windows stands behind them on the left. The near wall of the church appears to be in tact, but fallen bricks spill out the entrance on its right side.
