Lone Pine Ca

Calamity offers this guarantee: After the earthquake, after the fire, some things will be left standing and some will earn eternity. Such is the history of a chunk of wall that sits behind the local floral and gift shop in this town of 1,655 in the eastern Sierra foothills. The "Old Adobe Wall" survived the earthquake that leveled the town in 1872, and since then has won fame as Lone Pine's only example of pre-earthquake adobe architecture.
