Synopsis "The 2014 Napa Earthquake and Anniversary Aftermath: A Fourteenth Month Retrospective Into Historical Downtown Napa"
"The 2014 Napa Earthquake and Anniversary Aftermath" is author/photographer Marques Vickers fourth and final photographic chronicle of the damage and reparations resulting from the August 24, 2014 Napa Valley Earthquake. Beginning from the day following the earthquake, Vickers has successively photographed the most affected historical buildings on five occasions within the city's historic core. This one-year anniversary edition, features nearly 200 images providing a comparative time sequence documenting the restoration process. Among the profiled buildings include the Alexandria Hotel Annex, Andaz Hotels, Franklin Post Office, Sam Kee Laundry, First Presbyterian and First Methodist Churches, Winship-Smernes Building, Napa Law Center, Goodman Library, Napa Firefighters Museum and territory encompassing the ambitious Napa Center retail development. Detailed commentary is included citing architectural origins, history and local significance. Damage from the unprecedented 6.0. Magnitude earthquake has been estimated to have already exceeded $500 million and expenditures continue to mount. The majority to damage sustained by the historical buildings has been attributed to unreinforced masonry. Some of the buildings that had been retrofitted were still damaged when the shaking crumbled the century old mortar loosening and tossing suddenly detached masonry. The anniversary photographic edition is a remarkable visual insight into resiliency and rebuilding. The images represent a model for how a small and internationally renowned city has overcome the adversity of an unprecedented disaster.
