Lafayette Park, San Francisco Earthquake Fire
Additional Details:
| From Gough and Clay we're looking east as the raging fire moves unchecked down the slopes of Russian Hill towards Van Ness Ave., two blocks away. The blaze at far right has crossed Van Ness at Franklin, but here, at 11:30 p.m. on April 20, the fire is controlled. In three days 490 city blocks had been destroyed, an area of 2,593 acres. |
