Description
Photograph of a view up Market Street, showing earthquake damage to the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, 1906. Rubble has spilled over the street in the foreground while people walk towards it from the right distance. A carriage avoids the bricks on the road by driving on the far left while a nearly destroyed building stands just behind them. The front wall of the building still stands, but the roof and back half have fallen. The massive hotel stands in tact just behind the first building with large cracks in its nearest wall. A tower stands behind the hotel with no apparent damage. The electrical lines on the right side of the street have snapped, but the short light poles which line either side still stand.
