Officials of the federal government's small farm homestead project at El Monte are shown at a surveyor's tripod looking over blueprints at the site of the first home, to be started on February 8, 1935. Left to right are H. E. Jones, the government's chief inspector; R. E. Edmonds, general superintendent for the contractor; and Joseph Weston, famous architect, who forsook the designing of millionaire's mansions to plan the new farm homes.
