Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Pacific Glass Works Company, showing earthquake damage, San Francisco, 1906. The large, wooden buildings stands across the wide street at center with its right side demolished by the earthquake. The front wall on the right side has shifted and is now gently leans on the remaining walls. The roof is broken into large slabs and the interior walls have crumbled and spilled through the right side. The electrical poles which stand along the right side of the building still stand while piles of debris crowd their bases. Two pieces of wood stand upright in the dirt road in the foreground.
