Description
Photograph of a Hollywood adobe on the northwest corner of 7061 Franklin Avenue and Sycamore Avenue, owned by Don Thomas Uriquides, California, ca.1905. The one-story longhouse, built in 1853, sports a porch with an overhanging roof supported by a colonnade, on which an upholstered rocking chair and a short wooden chair are visible. The building has two chimneys, one which looks to be made of metal and the other which is evidently brick. A border made of stones marks the separation between the yard and the unpaved driveway in front of the house. What appear to be palm fronds seem attached to the porch's overhang. A tree cuts into the frame from the left. The adobe would later come into the possession of General Harrison Gray Otis, who called it the "Outpost".
