Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Van Nuys mansion in downtown Los Angeles, ca.1904. The massive building is on a hill at center. It is three stories high and has very steeply sloped roofs. A tall cylindrical tower can be seen on the corner of the building at right. In the foreground, the hill is covered with neatly trimmed grass, and a wide concrete walkway leads from the entrance to the home to the foreground at center. Another large house can be seen in the background at left, while a row of palm trees can be seen in the background at right. The house was later moved to Windsor Square on the northwest corner of Fourth Street and Lorraine Boulevard.
