View from Nob Hill 1906

1906 Earthquake, View from Nob Hill toward the Call Building at center (3rd & Market) [Reproduced from Authentic Photogrpahs - Those that were in San Francisco during not only the earthquake, but the subsequent days of flight before the fire, and who looked upon such days of death and despair and abominable desolation as in their well-ordered commonplace lives they had never dreamed of, must carry with them for many years a grim feeling of impotence and philosophy. Frivolity, the most unpardonable and far-reaching of all vices, is at an end in San Francisco for years to come.]
