Description
Photograph of San Francisco earthquake damage, showing Market Street north from Montgomery Street, 1906. A crowd of people, including a group riding a horse-drawn carriage, view the damage from the street at center. A fine cloud of dust hangs in the air while piles of debris flood the sidewalks on either side. One building on the left has crumbled to the ground, but the rest of the tall buildings which line the street still stand in tact.
