A strip of tilled ground with orchards to the right runs past a two-story house, with porch, of John R. Dobbins in San Gabriel, California. Beyond that, mountains in the distance. Title derived from photPF 509, cabinet view. Date devised by cataloger; Watkins made two trips to Southern California, in 1877 and 1880. Image corresponds with Watkins New Series stereo #4453, titled, "Orange Orchard, showing manner of Irrigation, San Gabriel." and cabinet view version photPF 509 in the Huntington Library.
