Description
Photograph of an exterior view of Halsey Bank, showing earthquake damage, San Francisco, [s.d.]. People in suits and hats walk along the street in the foreground with a fence containing a field of ruins behind them on the left. The bank stands on the right with broken windows and a large, arched doorway with a sign at its front that reads "K. W. Halsey & Co. Bankers". The tall walls of the bank are heavily damaged with many of its bricks piled on the floor of the interior. The ceiling has crumbled completely. More large, demolished buildings stand along the street further down.
