Description
Photograph of earthquake damage at the Dominguez Seminary in Compton, March 10, 1933. A large concrete fountain is at center and three priests are gathered around it. The seminary is behind them and a large section of the adobe archways that line the covered walkways has fallen down. The terracotta tile roof has been damaged by a large semi-circular piece of adobe, and many adobe bricks are on the ground around the clergymen.
