Description

This black-and-white historical photograph shows a two-story masonry building with significant structural damage situated behind a grassy lawn. The central portion of the building's facade has collapsed, creating a large, dark void where walls and windows once were, with rubble and broken structural elements visible within the opening. To the right of the building, a large, dark tree with sprawling branches and a smaller palm tree stand near the edge of the lawn. A light-colored walkway or driveway curves along the bottom right foreground. Handwritten white cursive text in the bottom left corner reads, "County Jail, Santa Barbara quake, June 29-25," and the name "RICK SB" is written in the bottom right corner.
