Description
Photograph of a view of an unidentified building damaged by the 1906 earthquake in San Jose, April, 1906. A person can be seen on the right walking up the tall steps that lead to the entrance of the enormous brick building. The building has tall, rectangular windows on the lower levels and arched windows on the top level. What appears to be a flag pole extends from the top of the building directly above the entrance. The building appears to be intact except for a section of the outer wall of the top floor on the left which has crumbled to a pile of debris below. Several people look at the building from the sidewalk.
