Description
Photograph of a view of a street in California, showing earthquake damage to a church on the right, [s.d.]. A set of wide tracks stripes the cobblestone road at center where a man in a long jacket and hat walks towards a crowd of people in the background. A building has crumbled on the right and its pieces have spilled into the street below. Behind the first set of ruins stands a large church with a tall tower at its front wall. A hill of fallen bricks spills out the tall, arched windows of the church on its visible side. A building on the left is completely destroyed while more tall, damaged buildings continue down the street into the distance.
