Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Monrovia Planet newspaper office building in Monrovia, with hills visible in the distance, ca.1890-1899. A two-story clapboard building bearing a sign that reads "The Monrovia Planet" sits at the center of the image, its front door open. The building's false front extends above the roof of its second story. A wooden sidewalk sits in front of the building, leading to an external staircase on the left side. Paned windows are visible on both stories. Three men and a child stand on the sidewalk in front of the building, while other children and a woman who holds a baby onto the back of a donkey stand in the dirt in front of the sidewalk. A small wooden building sits behind the Monrovia Planet building to the left, while the edge of another building with a shingled roof is visible at the right. Hills are visible in the distance.
