Description
Photograph of a view of First and Howard Street, showing earthquake damage, San Francisco, 1906. The cobblestone street at center is striped with tracks which continue to the destruction in the background. The street in the back is blanketed in a sheet of crumbled bricks from the large buildings on either side. Although the buildings still stand, many portions of their exterior walls have fallen leaving their interiors exposed. The damage reaches on either side of the street into the distance.
