Description
Photograph of the S.P. freight sheds in San Mateo, ca.1900. Tracks lie across the dust in the foreground while finely-dressed people stand in groups behind them. Several men and a small cluster of women look on a damaged, wooden tower which sits on top a pile of debris at center. A freight shed is toppled on its side just to the right of the tower. A row of buildings stands along the street in the background with Fishers Hotel on the corner to the left.
