April 18, 1906 - Statistics

2006-04-20T10:00:00.000-07:00

Dead - More than 3,000

A report of U.S. Army relief operations recorded:

498 deaths in San Francisco
64 deaths in Santa Rosa
102 deaths in and near San Jose

A 1972 NOAA report suggested that 700-800 was a reasonable figure.

Gladys Hansen and Emmet Condon, after extensive research, estimated that over 3000 deaths were caused directly or indirectly by the catastrophe. The population of San Francisco at the time was about 400,000.

Homeless - 225,000

225,000 from a population of about 400,000.

Buildings Destroyed - 28,000

“The 3-day conflagration following the earthquake caused substantially more damage than did the earthquake. The area of the burned district covered 4.7 square mile...” (NOAA report). By one count:

Wood buildings lost = 24,671
Brick buildings lost = 3,168
Total buildings lost = 28,188

Monetary Loss - More than $400 million

Estimated property damage (NOAA report): $400,000,000 in 1906 dollars from earthquake and fire, $80,000,000 from the earthquake alone.

April 18, 1906 - Subsequent Fire

2006-04-19T10:00:00.000-07:00

Subsequent Fire

The area of the city the burned.

Fire burns at Grove and Laguna Streets. View is along Grove Street. City Hall dome can be seen in the smoke cloud.

Sacramento Street and approaching fire. This is one of the infamous pictures of the day ... as the richer folks sat and watched the City burn!

Smoke from the smoldering Globe Mills, at Chestnut and Montgomery streets, obscures part of the waterfront in the area of Pier 27. This photograph, taken from the Ferry Building Tower, shows the collapsed piers 3 and 5.

Huge Crowds Watch Market Street Fire Fight. Saltwater pumped by a fire engine is used to try and stop the fire behind the Lincoln Grammar School at 5th and Market, now the site of Nordstrom Department Store. To the right, another engine attempts to find water in a hydrant. To the left, in the distance, is the fire burning through the Call Building at Third and Market. The curved building to the left is the James Flood Building at Market and Powell. Directly across the street is the Emporium building. Mounted Army cavalry are lined up along Market Street to keep the crowds back.

Building Damage

The Devastated Area of San Francisco – Bird’s eye view of the portion destroyed by earthquake and fire

Random devistated street

San Francisco City Hall after the 1906 Earthquake.

San Francisco City Hall. Photo from the corner of Ninth and Market.

Howard Street near 17th Street in San Francisco.

This photograph shows the wreckage of the Emporium Building on the left, and the James Flood Building at Market and Powell streets.

Three surviving structures in the Financial District can be seen in this dramatic photo. At far left is the Kohl Building on Montgomery Street, the Merchants’ Exchange Building on California and, in the center of the picture, the Mills Building on Montgomery.

Another view of the Third and Market Street area, this time taken from about Third and Folsom. The building on the left still stands at Third and Mission streets. The back of the wrecked Palace Hotel is at the far right.

Destruction Around Union Square: The tall steel skeleton just left of center is the Whittell Building under construction at the time of the earthquake, later finished, and still standing on Geary Street. The smaller Spring Valley Water Co. Building, just to its right, housed the City of Paris department store on the first two floors, and also survived, but was demolished in the 1980s and replaced by a Texas chain store. The Butler Building at right, under construction at the time of the earthquake, has a most interesting history. Its walls peeled away during the earthquake and killed several people in buildings adjoining the structure on Stockton and on Geary Street. The Butler Building later became I. Magnin’s, and its windows shattered during the 1989 earthquake. Several people on the street were injured by falling glass. The Butler Building is now part of Macy’s.

Stanford University damage (Palo Alto is almost 40 miles away from San Francisco.)

April 18, 1906 - Homeless / Refugees

2006-04-18T05:11:00.000-07:00

Homeless / Refugees

A large circus tent, rented by the army, stands in the field in front of the U.S. Army General Hospital at the Presidio of San Francisco. The tent was used to house medical supplies after a fire damaged the hospital’s supply room. The former Letterman Army General Hospital occupies the site.

One of several large relief camps established by the U.S. Army at the Presidio of San Francisco.

Large refugee camp in Golden Gate Park. The large wooden building along the ridgetop was Affiliated Colleges, now the site of the University of California Medical Center at Parnassus Heights.

Market Street bustled with people and horses in this image from before April 17, 1906. The street served as a dividing line between classes, with the poor living South of Market and the rich in the neighborhoods north of the street.

Emporium, middle right. Call Bldg, Ferry Building in distance. (That’s smog – not smoke.)

City Hall: The greatest boondoggle in City history. Cost over $6 million and 35 years to build. It fell down and burned in one day.

The Palace Hotel.

The St. Francis hotel on Union Square had been opened a short time before the Earthquake and Fire. Fortunately it did not suffer structural loss, as beams and girders in the basement and first floor were coated with concrete. The fire did little damage.

A California Street cable car is climbing past St. Mary’s Cathedral, en route to Nob Hill and the Fairmont Hotel. The Mark Hopkins Art Institute is across the street.
