Description
Buildings damaged in the June 21, 1920 earthquake in Inglewood. The building on the corner is the Hotel Inglewood. The photo has been made into a postcard sent by someone on June 27, 1920, describing the destruction. She stated that a part of two blocks was damaged and many chimneys were down. A monument in the Inglewood Cemetery lost its head, and a few other monuments were damaged. No one was hurt. Thousands of autos were out that day to survey the damage, she said.
