Description: View of an access road (now Pepper Drive) near New York Drive on Sphinx Ranch in Altadena. A large "T", which has been marked into one of the lower peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains above Altadena, is visible in the background on the right. The ranch was owned by William Allen, who had spent 23 years in Egypt thereby coming up with the name "Sphinx." Allen Avenue, named after William Allen, marked the western boundary of his property.
