The San Francisco Earthquake of 1906


This is a View of the Mutual Savings Institution and Chronicle Building
The Mutual Savings Institution was James D. Phelan's bank, on Market Street at Kearny. To the right of Mutual Savings is the old Chronicle Building at 642 Market Street. The ten-story building suffered a major collapse of the western section of the structure at about noon on April 18, when heavy Linotype machines fell through the burning floors. A clock tower on the Chronicle Building burned away during the fire. The old Chronicle Building, as well as its newer 17-story annex, still survive, though the exteriors have been covered. Lotta's Fountain is in front of the building.
