View looking across Washington Boulevard toward Ohlone Village Shopping Center in the vicinity of fractures and offset curbs caused by fault creep.
This view is looking east at the property owned by BART near Osgood and Washington in Fremont. The photo shows the ruins of the Gallegos (Palmdale) Winery that was built into a hillside that is a fault scarp of the Hayward Fault. In the brush-covered field is a stone perimeter wall built in 1884. By 1985, this stone wall had been offset by 2.5 feet of accumulated right-lateral creep on the main trace of the Hayward Fault (Lienkaemper, 2006).
