Description
Photograph of San Francisco earthquake damage, showing the ruins of Bank of America, 1906. Debris lies across the foreground with the massive, heavily damaged Bank of America Building Standing over it. The bank's arched entrance stands at center with light letters that read "The Bank of America" above it. The glass of the hundreds of windows has busted out and its roof has caved in.
