Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Machado adobe in San Diego, ca.1920. The long, rancher-style adobe is shown at center, angled-off into the right distance. The plaster on the walls appears discolored to the left, although no bricks are showing overtly. On the perpendicular wall, a tall wooden door can be seen at the top of a small stoop. Back to the right, a second door can be seen flanked by a window to either side. A small junk pile filled with tires and scrap wood stands in front of the leftmost window. Farther over, a tree can be seen leaning in from the left foreground, its dangling foliage obscuring some of the home's roof.
