Description
Photograph of the Lucky Baldwin's Oakwood Resort Hotel, near the Santa Fe Railroad, Santa Anita, California, ca.1900. The three-story brick building has a colonnade, where people can be seen sitting on benches, chairs, or rocking chairs. Several caged birds can be seen on the floor of the veranda near the decorative flowers and plants. Several types of trees are planted around the house, including three palms lined in the front. Above the colonnade is a covered balcony on the second floor. At left, there is a tower with a flagpole (or lightning rod) on the spire. Streetcar rails line the street in front of the hotel. Legible signs include: "In[...], Edmon[...], [...]ric", "Arcadia", "Baldwin's Hotel Oakwood", "E.J. B[...]", "Santa[...]".
