Exterior view of the old Phillips house in Spadra, later part of Pomona, on June 21, 1939. It was built for Louis Phillips and completed in 1875. Other than the adobes, this post-Civil War Victorian style home is the oldest in the Pomona Valley and was the first brick house built there. Mrs. Esther Phillips remained in the mansion after the death of her husband in 1900, until 1918. The house and surrounding 40-acre ranch were sold in 1931. It was later purchased by the Historical Society of Pomona Valley for preservation purposes.
