Exterior view of Saint Dominics Church, showing fire damage, San Francisco, 1906

Photograph of an exterior view of Saint Dominics Church, showing fire damage, San Francisco, 1906. The roof of a shed can be seen in the foreground on the left with an electrical pole standing in the cobblestone street behind it. Thin wooden boards are piled beneath the electrical pole on the right side of the street. Several houses stand in a row behind the pile with people and a horse-drawn carriage on the sidewalk in front of them. Further down the street stands the impressive Saint Dominics Church. The church has many large, arched windows and a round, stained-glass window at its center. The middle portion of its large, dome tower has burned and folded to the roof exposing the wooden frame inside. The steeple on the right has lost all of its outer layers and is now a skeletal frame. Pieces of the wall have cracked and crumbled to the sidewalk below.

本照片为1906年旧金山圣多米尼克教堂（Saint Dominics Church）的外景，呈现其受火灾损毁的状态。画面左侧前景处可见一间棚屋的屋顶，其后方的鹅卵石街道上立有一根电线杆。街道右侧的电线杆下方，堆放着若干细长木板。该木板堆后方排列着数栋房屋，屋前人行道上可见行人与一辆马车。街道更远处便是宏伟壮观的圣多米尼克教堂。教堂设有多扇大型拱形窗，正中央配有一处圆形彩色玻璃窗。其大型穹顶塔楼的中部已被焚毁并塌落至屋顶，暴露出内部的木质构架。右侧的尖塔已完全失去外层结构，仅剩骨架状框架。墙体碎片开裂剥落，散落在下方的人行道上。
