Description
Photograph of a woman and her dogs on the property of the Miguel Parra adobe (Alvarado adobe?) in Pomona, ca.1930. A stout woman stands to the right, dressed in a long coat, gloves and a beret. She holds two leashes which are connected to the collars of the dogs that stand to the left of her. One of the dogs appears to be an Akita or Pomeranian, while the other, smaller dog is lightly-colored. In the background, a one-story adobe rancher with a covered stoop can only marginally be seen behind the thick cover of foliage created by the line of trees in front of it. An earlier record contends that the adobe has its original iron bars, or rejas, with glass inside and wooden shutters outside. Picture file card reads "Alvarado was brother-in-law to Ygnacio Palomares, grantee of Rancho San Jose".
