The San Francisco earthquake and fire; a brief history of the disaster; a presentation of facts and resulting phenomena, with special reference to the efficiency of building materials, lessons of the disaster . YOUNG BUILDING. First Story- Showing the damage to the expanded metal lath and jjlaster column ])rotection,and the earthquake cracks in the flat expanded metal lath and plaster ceiling. The pipes in the wall chases have bulged andforced off the hollow tile wall furring in s]iots. 82. YOUNG BUILDING. Second Story. Showing the condition of the under side of the of tlieexpanded metal floors. One floor span is broken down by sheet iron which fell through from the fourth story. This floorconstruction, on account of the expansion of the exposed band, deflected badly throughout the building, evenwhere there was little or no load resting on it. There is an earthquake crack in the rear wall in the centre. The hollow tilepartition around the toilet-room in the rear is badly wrecked. The crack around the expanded metal lath and plaster columncovering, about five feet from the floor, occurs throughout the building, and probably marks the height of the wood trim, orthe sections of the completed plaster work during the construction of the buiiiiing. 83
