Description
Photograph of steel beams bent by the fire, San Francisco, 1906. Steel beams stand vertically through the thick, brick rail which once extended horizontally over the right side of the street which lies on the far left. To the left and right of the steel beam the bricks have crumbled and fallen to piles on the ground. Several of the beams are distorted and bent towards the ground after being melted by the fire. A building to the right has one wall still standing and the rest has been demolished. More of the town can be seen in the background on the far left.
