Description: A badly damaged house stands in a yard after the 1947 Texas City Disaster. The upper front structure of the house has been badly damaged, and boards hang down or are lying on the ground. The rear section of the roof has collapsed and broken away from its supporting structure. Windows have been blown out, and the board fence has been destroyed. Heavy thick clouds of black smoke cover the horizon. On the far left, in the background, can be seen a refinery tower structure.
