Description
Photograph of a view of San Francisco from Nob Hill after the earthquake and the fire, 1906. A damaged fence leans over the debris-covered ground in the right foreground while a large, brick building stands behind it. A larger brick building stands at center with large portions of its outer walls missing. The ruins continue into the background where a haze of smoke can be seen above the city.
