Description
Photograph of Earthquake damage shown along a street, Compton, March 1933. In the background at right, a large building can be seen. A large portion of the front of the building has been heavily damaged, and large amounts of debris litter the sidewalk. Previous version of the record states that the damaged building is the Arambe (theatre) Building. In front of the building, a line of utility poles borders a wide road. On the road at left, a large truck is visible with the words "Owl Truck & Materials Co." painted on its side. To the far right, a large crane from the same company sits beside the dilapidated structure. Beside the crane, at least five men can be seen. In the background at left, two additional buildings are visible. The building directly behind the Arambe building is also heavily damaged. A grassy field can be seen in the extreme foreground. A person can be seen walking along the sidewalk bordering the field at left.
