Description
Photograph of a lithograph depicting the residence McFarland and Downey, 1870. A woman stands on one end of the covered porch of the house, while a man on horseback rides towards the building. Nine wooden beams support the covered porch, and ivy can be seen growing along three of the beams. A series of windows are visible along the side of the house, and two small pipes extend from its roof. A small garden consisting of small trees and shrubs sits in front of the structure. In the foreground, another man stands in the street before the house. Mountains rise in the background. Caption reads: "McFarland & Downey".
From a photographic plate with two other images (CHS-4995 & CHS-4996).
