Title San Francisco eathquake damage, showing people heading toward the Ferry Building, 1906

Description Photograph of San Francisco earthquake damage, showing people in carriages and on foot heading toward the Ferry Building in order to get out of the ruined city, 1906. People in dark suits walk and ride in horse-drawn carriages from the left foreground to the Ferry Building in the right background. The road they travel on is cracked and sunk in the foreground. The Ferry Building appears to be in tact with a large clock tower above its center.
