Aerial view of the Elysian Park landslide, Los Angeles, November 1937

Description:
Aerial view of the Elysian Park landslide. The landslide started near the top of Buena Vista Peak as a small crack in the earth. The crack began separating at a rate of about half an inch every 24 hours, then became a meandering zig-zag, and finally a landslide on November 26, 1937. During the landslide 1,500,000 tons of loose rock and dirt tumbled down the hill and onto a 600 foot stretch of Riverside Drive. The disaster caused rerouting of traffic and attracted thousands of spectators. Because the initial crack was identified early, damage and injuries were largely avoided

Call Building after earthquake and fire, San Francisco, 1906

Description:
The Call Building, commissioned by Claus Spreckels and completed in 1898, housed the offices of the newspaper the San Francisco Call. It was constructed to be fireproof and to withstand earthquakes (Spreckels requested the assistance of structural engineer, Charles Strobe, who greatly reinforced the building's steel framing). After the 1906 earthquake, the Call Building's interior was gutted, but because of its rigid steel frame, it was one of the few buildings on Market Street to remain standing. It was remodeled as an art deco building by the architect Albert Roller in 1938 and still stands today (2013) at the corner of Market and Third Streets. Later names: Spreckels Building, Central Tower.
