Description
Photograph of a view of San Jose following the 1906 earthquake, showing damage done to a wooden building in which six were killed, 1906. Two walls barely support what's left of the collapsed roof of the wooden building that can be seen in piles of rubble that spill out onto the street at center. On the right the walls are collapsed and the paneling that made up the roof is sloping down in large sheets. A taller building still stands on the right while trees and piles of debris can be seen down the street on the left. The men stand in front of the collapsed wooden building looking at the remains.
