Description
Photograph of an interior view of the Fireman's(?) Fund Building, showing earthquake damage to vaults, San Francisco, [s.d.]. Most of the roof and side walls have crumbled to piles of brick at center with the remaining portions of walls and their small windows towering above them. A staircase stands behind a column in the foreground on the right with debris scattered over its steps. Several ladders are leaned against what appear to be the vaults in the background.
