Photograph of a view of Fifteenth Street in Oakland, showing earthquake damage, 1906. A wooden board lies over two barrels in the foreground while many more barrels stand along the right side of the street behind them. Men in suits and hats fill the street which runs from the left foreground to the right distance. Large pieces of a fallen building lie across the ground on the right with two wooden boards extending up to the right from the center of the large pile. Trees stand beneath the electrical lines on the left while large buildings stand in tact further down the street. The first building stands five stories tall with many rectangular windows in stone walls. What appears to be a church stands behind it with a tall, pointed steeple.
