Description
Photograph of the auction of a Pasadena school building on the corner of Colorado Street and Fair Oaks Avenue, ca.1885. A large crowd of people standing behind a number of horse-and-buggies gather at the bottom of the two-story schoolhouse, which sports a bell tower and clapboard veneer. Two horses attached to still more buggies are tied to a hitching post in the foreground, facing one another. A building in the background is under construction, fronted by scaffolding.
