Description
Photograph of the exterior of a typical early California rancho adobe home of a Mexican family, constructed ca.1848. A chimney dominates the end nearest the viewer. The peaked roof extends over the porch supported by four posts on the left side. A table and several boxes containing flowers sit on the slightly raised wooden porch. A picket fence surrounds the yard. Trees grow behind the house. A couple of sheep(?) can be seen fenced in an area adjacent to the yard fence. A utility line runs across the image at top.
