Corner view of the partially collapsed Security First National Bank, as it appeared following the Long Beach earthquake. The bank, located along Long Beach Boulevard, as well as numerous other structures, was turned to rubble on March 10, 1933 following the 6.4 quake. Although the earthquake was centered in Long Beach, surrounding areas - including Lynwood, were greatly affected in part by brick buildings collapsing due to un-reinforced masonry walls. Photograph dated: March 1933.
