Additional Information About the Natural History of this Subject
Downtown Santa Cruz was heavily hit by the Loma Prieta Earthquake. On April 12, 1894 a fire of immense proportions reduced most of downtown Santa Cruz to ashes. In the wake of that event, updated building codes called for non-combustible masonry. The ancestors of the Yankees who rebuilt downtown of brick had been in New England or Europe when the 1800 quake terrified one Spanish mission priest so badly he had to be replaced. The 1865 quake had shaken the combustible, but flexible, wooden buildings without causing much damage. The unreinforced brick structures built after the 1894 fire were easy for the October, 1989 shaker to knock apart.
