	    If so, the big blank wall is 177 Liberty and the big house to its right in p11 is 171 Liberty.

Awakened by the earthquake at 5:12am on 4/18/1906,
Stanford student Carl Breer grabbed his Eastman No. 3A Folding Pocket Kodak camera,
took great pictures of earthquake damage at Stanford,
and then hopped on his bicycle and rode to San Francisco.
He came into the city on Mission Street and took pictures from Bernal Heights and Liberty Street.
In late afternoon and early evening, he took eight pictures from Rock Hill (Clinton Mound, now Mint Hill).
He took more pictures on the following day 4/19/1906 and on a later visit to S.F.
More than fifty years later (in 1963-1964), he wrote a detailed narrative describing his earthquake experience.
