Description
Photograph of a pen and ink drawing depicting the residence of French Canadian pioneer, Dr. Remi Nadeau (later the site of the Biltmore Hotel), on the southwest corner of Fifth Street and Olive Street, Los Angeles, 1880-1888. Two women play croquet among the ranks of evenly spaced trees that fill the lawn in front of the clapboard-sided cottage standing at the center. A picket fence surrounds the property while a man has come through the front gate and approaches a riderless horse-drawn carriage. Forest is visible in the background and the road appears to be unpaved. More buildings of similar design can be seen to the back left of the cottage. Treetops are partially visible in the lower left foreground.
