Description
English: Black and white photograph taken shortly after the April 18, 1906 earthquake which devastated San Francisco and many other communities in Northern California. This view is looking north along Ferndale, California's Main Street. In this 1906 image notice the fallen front of the brand new brick Russ & Early Store (339 Main) as well as the Gilt Edge Hotel between the current day Candystick Gallery (361 Main) and the building with the clock in front (385-389 Main). The Gilt Edge Hotel had to be demolished due to damages sustained in this earthquake, the resultant empty lot has served for parking and the location of the theater in the movie The Majestic. Ferndale buildings suffered major damages in this earthquake, but had no fires. See File:Ferndale CA Main Street to North.jpg for modern view of same intersection.
