Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the City Hall in San Francisco, showing earthquake damage, [s.d.]. The city hall stands at center with the outer walls of its dome tower stripped from the frame. Pieces of the wall have crumbled below leaving the stairs and skeletal frame exposed. Palm trees stand next to the pile of rubble lining the sidewalk in front of the building. A statue depicting a figure holding a spear and shield stands on a tall pedestal on the right while people view the damage from the street in the foreground.
