Caption:   Earthquake damage to the Commercial Bank building (1906). Damage in Redwood City from the 1906 earthquake was worse for brick buildings than those constructed from wood. Although there was extensive damage in downtown, there were no deaths and only minor injuries. The Commercial Bank building had just been completed on Hamilton Street prior to the earthquake, but not yet occupied. It was never rebuilt.
