Description
Photograph of an exterior view of an unidentified adobe in Sonora Town, ca.1900. The back of the adobe appears to be shown, situated perpendicular to the street along the sidewalk which is visible to the left. A small, unspackled adobe building with equilateral walls and a wooden upper section stands closest to the street, with a barn- or garage-like structure extending from it to the right. A barrel and some yard waste are visible in front. A picket fence can be seen to the left behind the adobe, while the roofs of more houses are visible in the right background.
