1978 Press Photo East view of Sacramento Street in San Francisco. - noc25411

East of Sacramento Street in San Francisco today stand the light-colored Fairmont Hotel (rear center) and in front of it the Flood Mansion, now the Pacific Union Club. The two buildings, renovated after surviving the 1906 earthquake, are now flanked and topped by newer buildings erected in the years since then. But the same plastic earth still rolls along the San Andreas Fault and eventually there will be another Great Quake, scientists believe.

Photo is dated 1978.
