Bank of America, as it appeared in 1933, at the corner of Compton Boulevard and Tamarind Street. Many local businesses are visible, including: DuPont Hardware, Smart Shop, Famous Store, Moore Bros. Printing, Karl's Shoes, and many others. Automobiles line the right side of the street. A short time after this photograph was taken, on March 10, 1933, a devastating 6.4 magnitude earthquake took lives, toppled schools, and caused major damage to the main business district - including the City Hall which was shaken into twisted ruin, and was eventually razed and re-built
