Description
Photograph of the Great Mill Valley Fire of 1929 as seen from Sausalito. Shows giant cloud of smoke rising out of Mill Valley, blocking the view of Mt. Tamalpais. The fire started near Ralston White's Garden of Allah (which suffered no damage) and burned from July 2-5, consuming more than 100 Mill Valley homes. Just as the fire was nearing Mill Valley's downtown, the winds shifted and the downtown area was spared.
