Description
Photograph of a street, sunk and cracked after the earthquake, Seventeenth and Howard Street, San Francisco, 1906. A large portion of the street has sunk at center. The massive trench created has a long wooden beam lying across it in the foreground and appears to be filled with sand bags. Further back the tracks that striped the street from left to right have been bent and driven into the ground with the road below it. The city can be seen beyond the street in the background with damaged buildings standing above piles of debris.
