Exterior view of the Home Union Building and large department store after the 1906 earthquake in San Jose, April, 1906

Photograph of the Home Union Building and large department store after the 1906 earthquake in San Jose, April, 1906. A wooden wagon with large wheels stands in the foreground with a man in a dark suit and hat standing just to the right. The building still stands, although heavily damaged, on the street behind with piles of debris scattered in front of it. The roof is collapsing at center and the outer walls of the second floor has crumbled, leaving the rooms exposed. The walls still stand on the first floor while dust rises from the debris in front of it.

1906年4月，圣何塞1906年地震后的现场照片，主体为家庭联合大厦（Home Union Building）与大型百货商店。画面前景处停放着一辆带有大轮的木制马车，其右侧紧邻一位身着深色西装、头戴礼帽的男子。尽管损毁严重，涉事建筑仍矗立在后方街道之上，建筑前方散落着大量瓦砾堆。建筑中部的屋顶已发生坍塌，二楼外墙亦已垮塌，室内空间完全裸露在外。一楼墙体仍保持完好，建筑前方的瓦砾堆中正扬起阵阵烟尘。
