Description
Photograph of an old olive tree at the old adobe house of Colonel Purcell in San Gabriel, before June 4, 1930. The thick tree stands at center with the small, lightly-colored house just behind it on the left. The roots at the base of the tree are thick and separated well before the tree extends into the dusty ground. The dark, thick limps of the trees can be seen at top where the thin branches of tiny leaves crowd overhead. Short plants with similar leaves lean against the back side of the tree while thin, wooden supports hold up their delicate stems. The wooden house has a large window on the far left and a tiny chimney secreting smoke from the edge of its shingled roof. Trees can be seen in a clearing in the background on the right.
