Description
Photograph of a burned down double machinery shop on Howard Street, San Francisco, 1906. A cobblestone road with tracks lies across the foreground with large piles of rubble on the sidewalk behind it. The bottom portion of a building still stands at center, but the walls above it have fallen. Further back, large pieces of the exterior walls lie in piles on top of each other with metal support beams bent and tangled above them. A single wall with six large windows stands in the background on the left while all of the other exterior walls are missing.
