Description
Photograph of the sunken ground from an earthquake at the M.L. Post Office, [s.d.]. A cobblestone road lies in the foreground with the large, brick post office on the raised sidewalk behind it. The arched entrance to the post office stands on the far right with stairs leading down to the sidewalk where a light pole and fire hydrant can be seen at center. The fenced plot of ground in front of the post office, just behind the fire hydrant, has crumbled and sunk below the level of the sidewalk. People observe the site from the street on the far left.
