Description
Photograph of earthquake damage in Inglewood, showing row of destroyed structures near a road, June 1920. In the foreground at center, a motorcycle can be seen beside a large pole. Further to the right, a pile of rods can be seen on the ground. Behind the motorcycle, a paved street is visible extending from the left to the background at right. A small sidewalk runs parallel to the road on the opposite side. On the opposite side of the road, several partially-standing structures can be seen. Only sections of some walls remain standing, and piles of debris can be seen near the bases of the buildings.
