Description
Photograph of a view of Sixteenth Street from Howard Street, showing earthquake damage, San Francisco, 1906. Howard Street lies across the foreground while Sixteenth Street extends from the right foreground to the center distance. The street is cracked down its center with a large hole sunk into the ground further down the street. The buildings and houses on either side of the damaged street appear to stand in tact along with the electrical poles that line their sidewalks.
