Description
Photograph of the ruins of the Ygnacio Martinez rancho in Pinole Valley, ca.1937. Several free-standing adobe walls are shown on a hill at center and have eroded down at their edges, sections of the wooden roof framework visible, having collapsed into the space at the center of the walls. In the foreground, a barbed-wire fence runs the length of the edge of the hill, cutting it off from the section of paved road below. Larger hills are visible in the background to the right.
