Description
Photograph of a view of San Jose following the 1906 earthquake, showing damage done to Santa Clara Avenue, 1906. A horse and carriage cross the street from right to left at center as one man walks towards the foreground and another towards the damaged street in the back. The tall building on either side appear to be intact and the sidewalks are still congested with people after the earthquake. A street pole on the left sidewalk, which is connected to another on the opposite side of the street, is damaged and leaning over the road towards the right. A man is climbing a damaged electrical pole that leans to the right just behind the street pole.
