Description
After the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 when many of the buildings were destroyed, there was also a spiraling real-estate prices in the Chinatown area. To help keep Chinatown Chinese, many of the building built after the quake incorporated Chinese style pagodas and other motifs, especially on the roofs, to make them most visible.
