Photograph caption dated October 15, 1964 reads, "Plans are going forward to rebuild the Porter Hotel, a San Fernando City landmark for more than 50 years, destroyed by fire last July 21. But debris and rubble have to be cleared away to make room for a new and, perhaps, a more grandiose structure--more modern, anyway."
