Description

Photograph of a view of the earthquake damage at the Compton City Hall, March 10, 1933. The light-colored, two-story, Romanesque building is badly damaged. Large sections of the second story wall are missing, and a portion of the façade has collapsed at right, bringing the roof down with it. A large pile of rubble and debris surrounds the large building. A young man in a sailor's uniform is standing on the lawn in front of the building at left. There are several small pine trees and bushes scattered around the City Hall.
