This hand-colored stereograph card features two nearly identical, side-by-side rectangular photographs with rounded corners, mounted on a light-brown, pebble-textured cardboard backing. The image depicts the ruins of a grand, multi-story residence with scorched tan walls and several tall, standing brick chimneys. In the foreground, a red early-twentieth-century automobile is parked on the street, with a man in dark clothing standing beside it. The surrounding area is filled with debris and the skeletal remains of other structures under a pale sky. Small, light-colored text printed at the bottom right of the photographs reads: "No. 1056. A Millionaire's Home on Van Ness Ave., Devastated by Earthquake and Fire April 18, 1906.". Below the mounted stereograph, a gray and black color calibration scale is visible within the frame.
