Entry No.		Data Sources		Notes on Damage to Structures in the Vicinity of San José, California, from the 1906 Earthquake
100		1a		"County Jail--The county jail is in good condition, no repairs being necessary, with the exception of iron tie rods through the brick work under the water tank." [The old County Jail, the one in this damage report, was directly in back of County Court House, in middle of block between Market Street and 1st Street. The new County Jail (called the Hall of Justice) was built in 1905, in back of Hall of Records but facing Market Street. This building had not yet replaced the old County Jail by April 1906. The water tank was positioned over the NE wall of jail yard, opposite the main cell block.]
200		1a		"County Court House--The foundation and first story found to be in safe condition, also all of the second story, with the exception of the court room and District Attorney's offices. In the court room the trusses have dropped down and damaged the plastering and ceiling, but can be used until repairs are made. In the District Attorney's offices two cross walls will have to be taken down and rods run through and the walls rebuilt. The trusses under the dome are in good condition and the dome is safe. Four trusses back of the dome have dropped off of the wall and are in bad condition. A number of brick walls in the attic are down, but are low walls and are not dangerous. With the exception of the District Attorney's offices and the one court room, the Court House can be used."
300		1a		"Nabury Building or Oakland House--We find that the same is safe for the present, but will need to be rodded and tied together and repaired, but can be used as at present."
400		1a		"Hall of Records --The Hall of Records in the basement and first story are safe, with the exception of the southwest corner, which is unsafe; the second story is not safe and must not be used."
500		1a		"St. James Hotel--We find that the hotel in the main is in fair condition. The brick walls in the front building are standing fine and have but few checks. Posts have been ordered under two of the small arches in the rear hallway, and the walls on the fourth story in the rear to be taken down part way. The annex facing on St. John street has been found to be unsafe and this committee recommends to have it condemned and taken down."

700		1a		"Sweigert Building--The Sweigert Building, at the southwest corner of St. John and First streets, has been found to be unsafe and should be condemned by the Fire Commissioners. It should be braced well first before the work is commenced of taking down this building."
800		1a, 11, 12, 65		Source #1a: "Phelan Building--The Phelan Building should be well braced and made safe and all portions taken down that are necessary to place the building in a safe condition." Source #65: Phelan building: Dr. De Crow was killed. (p. 4) Sources #11, 12: Photographs and postcards show that this building collapsed entirely.

Temporary shores must be erected along the entire east wall of building and, when possible, to be rebuilt from the sidewalk level up. West fire wall to be torn down immediately, if possible, and all loose or broken glass removed. Will be safe for the stores below and occupancy above when shored." [This building is still in use. From an inspection in March 2006, Masonry D construction is evident: brick walls free-standing, not well anchored. Old tie rods run through building between first and second floors; tie rods are scant between second and third floors. The brick walls have recently been internally braced (2006 observation).]
1100		1a		"Conservative Realty Building--Northwest pilaster brick corner must be shored temporarily, but as soon as possible to be torn down and back approximately 10 feet and rebuilt plumb. This building is perfectly safe and sound otherwise."

[Stewart's Shoe Store below, Ideal Tea Co. two stories above. It is evident that the entire structure was compromised by substantial settling. Liquefaction seems likely as the cause of settling.]

In Eagles' Hall the second story of this building needs tie rods, etc., to tie said east wall in place. This building can be placed in good condition with some repairing in general if placed in the hands of an architect." Source #1b: "Eagle Hall should have some necessary repairs for safety made at once on the east wall; this building should not be occupied until these repairs are made."

The east wall of said building is condemned and should not be used." [1905-06 City Directory gives N. 1st St, NE crnr Santa Clara Street. This location is the same as for index #9200, which has a substantial damage report and is also in the list.]
4000		1b		"Baptist Tabernacle. Southeast corner Second and San Antonio streets. Church is safe for occupancy with the exception of the rear room and the gallery. These latter must not be used until repaired, strengthened and made safe." [1905-06 City Directory gives address as 2nd Street, NE corner San Antonio Street. City Directory is presumed correct.]

From photographs (Sources #9, 11, and 12), the building appears to have "pancaked" within a few days after April 20; the floors were saved whole and reused in temporary tent schoolrooms. On April 20, the building was severely damaged from shaking, but by the time of the photographs (Sources #9, 11, and 12), it had entirely collapsed. Either it was deliberately and carefully demolished to save the floors for reuse and to protect the public, or an aftershock helped take it down. The damage report (Source #1e) for this entry was recorded on April 27, 1906 (date of inspection unknown).

Third floor was "badly damaged" and "wrecked" in the earthquake. "Damage done to the entire St. Joseph's complex at Market and San Fernando Streets in the earthquake of 1906 cost ninety thousand dollars to repair." [The 1905-06 City Directory lists W.B. Ward & Son (undertakers and embalmers) as occupant. Ward & Son moved to this building from next door (#97-99 S. Market Street) in 1902; the move was traced in successive San Jose City Directories. This fathers' residence was replaced before 1906 by the newer building, to the rear of the cathedral, that housed both a fathers' residence and school. This newer building was completely destroyed by the earthquake and soon razed.]

The main building appears structurally intact in a post-earthquake photograph in the hospital archives: windows are broken, but the central tower is upright. Source #60, April 23, 1906, p. 4, however, describes much more serious damage to the main structure: "The main building of the County Hospital lays [sic] in ruins. The recent brick addition where the kitchen was situated fell at the time of the quake--it was here that three of the patients were killed and seven badly injured. The main part of the building--the front--is very badly wrecked inside, the whole lower story is nearly two feet out of plumb and is liable to collapse any minute."

Source #57: This building had minor damage, but all the other adobes in the same complex were essentially destroyed. An aggregate intensity is assigned to reflect higher, rather than lower, degree of damage. The difference in response to shaking is likely due to differences in quality of construction (Peralta adobe was stronger).

74601		49		Barn/stable at back of property at #596 N. 5th Street; [In 1912 became Kinokuniya Shoten market and later Dobashi Market. Dobashi Market closed in December 2005.] Photograph from 1912 shows an already old building with access door for hay at front, top of second story. This building survived the 1906 earthquake in excellent condition; at most, minor repairs would have been needed.
74602		48		Ng Shing Gung building ["joss house" in Sanborn]]. Building was damaged in 1906 but repaired and in use until 1947. Photograph on p. 41.
74603		12, 35, 48		Source #48: Heinlenville Chinatown. Photographs and description of damage from earthquake; in particular, a photograph of Cleveland Street between 6th and 7th Streets likely taken from Jackson St., looking N toward E. Taylor St. Buildings were primarily 1- and 2-story brick structures lining both sides of the street. No detailed damage reports are available (inspectors did not enter the gates of Heinlenville Chinatown), so photographs of damage are the primary source of damage data. Source #12: Photograph on p. 60 shows nearly all buildings on these blocks as having partially damaged or partially fallen brick walls. The buildings on this street did not suffer total collapse. The contemporary accounts blame this degree of damage on substandard ("shoddy") construction. One damage data point here represents several dozen buildings. Many families and businesses were displaced; buildings typically had stores on the ground floor and living quarters on the upper floor. According to source #48, "Heinlenville patched up the damage to its buildings and stayed put. Merchants took the opportunity while rebuilding to remodel and expand their buildings." (p. 61) Same source: Photograph of Chinese refugees from the earthquake in St. James Park (p. 60). Source #35 (Lawson Report, W.S. Prosser): north and south walls fell in Chinatown.
74700		50, 42		Agnew State Hospital ("insane asylum"). Source #50: Photographs show loss of structural integrity in all, or nearly all, of the three- and four-story brick buildings housing inmates and administrative facilities. 112 inmates and staff members were killed. According to source #42 (Derleth, 1907), the poor performance of these structures could be blamed on low-cement, high-lime mortar.
74800		55		Residence of Thomas D. Scales, who moved to this location from #325 North Third Street immediately after the earthquake. From the letter of May 25, 1906 from (sister) Elizabeth J. Scales of Long Beach to (brother) Thomas D. Scales of San José: "You certainly made good time during the last earthquake. 'Practice makes perfect,' you know, and after a while you will probably be able to move the entire house into another county before the shock is being experienced by your neighbors. You are all right." This dwelling (at #132 North Fourteenth -- now Seventeenth -- Street, near the west bank of Coyote Creek), to which Thomas Scales moved immediately after the earthquake, was safe for occupancy after the earthquake and immediately available for rent.
74900		1c, 61		Longfellow School (formerly First Ward School). Source #1c: "In safe condition and could be used if walls were cleaned down and brick taken from roof." Source #61: "The Longfellow has been examined by the inspectors and pronounced perfectly safe."
