Photograph of a view of San Francisco from Nob Hill, showing earthquake damage, 1906. Several poles and tall pipes stand upright amongst the free-standing walls in the foreground while the buildings around them have crumbled to the ground. Streets run through the ruins at center from left to right with just one street reaching from the foreground to the background on the far right. People walk along this street and view the damaged buildings on the left. Broken houses stand on a small hill in the background on the left.
