Title:
The above illustration was made from a photograph taken shortly after the earthquake and in the early states of the fire
which followed incidental thereto that laid in ashes nearly four-fifths of the beautiful city. The scene especially shows
the very center of the closely built business section, where may be observed the towering temple of the press; the eighteen
story Call Building; the fifteen story Chronicle Building and the new Shreve office structure, just occupied April first;
the magnificent St. Francis Hotel, recently constructed as a cost of about two and one-half million dollars, and many other
more or less prominent edifices. This portion was reached by flames Wednesday night and was totally dstroyed [sic.] before
the close of the following day. [also Crocker Bldg. Palace Hotel, Chronicle Annex, Bird Cage, St. Francis Hotel.]
