What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in San Marino
Most homes here predate 1950, and many are large with more than one chimney. Lightly reinforced brick from those years is the type most easily damaged by quakes, so each flue gets its own numbered section and footage file. Crack mapping matters because the 1987 Whittier Narrows quake hit this valley hard. Summer heat and cool winter nights keep masonry moving, and old crowns often show their cracks as winter leaks. No-burn days are one more reason to note the fuel.
