Description
Exterior, three quarters view of the living quarters of the Japanese workers at Rancho Sespe. The building is two stories tall, with exterior staircases on the side, a chimney, and porch. A group of Japanese men stand on the steps and porch of the ground floor. A horse-drawn carriage is parked alongside the side of the building. A man, two women, and a child are passengers. The passengers appear to be white. A Japanese man stands next to the carriage with his hands behind his back. He may be a chauffeur for the people in the carriage. Each person is gazing towards the viewer.
