Description
Photograph of Moorish mansion in Pasadena, ca.1910. In the foreground, a large lawn spotted with small palm trees can be seen. Tall trees stand to the left and right of the image. At center, a large mansion is visible. Decorative, arched windows can be seen along the sides of the structure. To the far right, an arched, rectangular structure supported by two columns can be seen jutting from the main building. Above the structure, a peaked dome with a crescent moon at its apex is visible. A similar dome can be seen near the chimney surrounded by a parapet at center. To the left, a small balcony can be seen along the second-story of the building. To the far right, part of another building can be seen.
