Earthquake/Fire: Santa Rosa Courthouse
-
Newman correctly captions the image as showing
the ruins of the Santa Rosa courthouse and City Hall.
-
Newman, O. (addressed but not mailed) shows the same image,
but the caption incorrectly gives San Francisco as the location.
The postcard writer notes
"built at a cost of seven million dollars",
which refers to San Francisco's City Hall,
not to the Santa Rosa City Hall shown.
-
Weidner 226, postmarked S.F. 11/19/1906, is a later color card
showing the same ruins.
