Description
Photograph of the New Hall of Justice after the 1906 earthquake in San Jose, April, 1906. The large, brick building stands at center with several people walking along the sidewalk on the right. Pieces of the roof on the left wall are crumbled into piles in front of the building. At center, the tops columns that stand along the wall have crumbled along with the roof above and the windows beside it. Pieces of the short towers that sat along the top of the front wall have broken and are leaning back into the building. A balcony on the front of the building on the right is damaged and falling, but the rest of the front wall appears to be in tact.
