Description
Photograph of four men assessing the Evertsen Adobe in San Gabriel before it was to be destroyed, 1960. Four men are pictured in the foreground, standing on a leaf-strewn front yard. The lightly-colored adobe is pictured behind them, its center section jacketed in wood while the left side is made of brick. The men are identified from left as: Charles Fulkerson, Title Insurance and Trust
Thomas Workman Temple II, San Gabriel Mission Custodian
Norm Woest, Title Insurance and Trust
and Charles Elgert, President of the San Gabriel Historical Society and Postmaster.
The adobe was built in 1850 by John R. Evertsen, who was charged with taking the first U.S. Census of the City and County of Los Angeles.
