Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Outside Inn in Topanga Canyon, ca.1915. The two-story clapboard inn is at center. It has a covered porch in front and awnings cover three of the upper story windows. A large sign painted near the top of the flat-topped façade advertises the name of the inn. A wooden staircase leads up a hill to the right. A dirt road runs in front of the hotel in the foreground, and a steep wooded hill rises behind the building.
Legible signs include, from left to right: "Zerolene Camp Grounds for rent", "Ice Cold Drinks, Cigars & Tobacco Groceries", "D. E. Fletcher, Prop. Running Water Tent Houses For Rent ", "Honey" and "Sandwiches Lunch Candy".
