Clipping, "Apr. 18, 1946--The ruins left in the wake of fire which swept San Francisco following the earthquake of years ago today are shown in this view taken from the Fairmont Hotel, looking down Powell Street from California Street. Oakland sheltered thousands of refugees." Photo shows crumbled and fire damaged buildings.
