San Francisco,CA - 1906 - City Hall Photograph :
This photo by an unknown photographer is not mounted. Measures 9 1/2" by 7 1/2." It is starting to blacken on the corners. The upper left and right corners also have folds and a small portion of the upper left corner is missing and has small tears. The rest of the photo is sharp and clear depicting how San Francisco's City Hall looked after the earthquake. Bricks and rebar are clearly discernable. The outside of the building has soot above the windows indicating it burned. City hall's towers are still standing against a smoky sky. However, one half of the building with one of the towers looks likes it is tilted backwards and ready to fall. Some of the debris around the building is huge, showing just how devastating and dangerous the earthquake was. Written on the bottom of the photo in white is "San Francisco City Hall - Looking Southeast from McAllister and Larkin Sts."
