570 Fifth Street

The only homeowner I talked to was the owner of 570 Fifth Street. He said that every Saturday college students come to see his house on field trips.

A closer look at 570 Fifth Street

The owner said he had to turn his screen door upside-down to make it fit. Notice the severe angle of the bottom of the door.

570 Fifth Street, Windows and crawl space hatch

If your contrast is high enough you should see a beam through the crawl space hatch. This is a reinforcement placed there after the most recent earthquake rendered the house unsafe. The owner said the house is rock-solid now.
