Description
Photograph of Huntington Park buildings, showing 1933 earthquake damage, ca.1933. People walk on the wide street in the foreground while debris flows on the sidewalks behind them. A lightly-colored building with large, arched windows stands on the street corner at center with a sign above that reads "Chrysler". A large portion of its front walls has crumbled to the sidewalk below. More damaged buildings stand down the street at right.
