Description
Photograph of the exterior view of San Diego's Horton House, ca.1890. A large sign situated above the four-column-supported portico displays the name of the building.

Another crowd is gathered in the courtyard (or park?) in the foreground. Legible signs include: "[...] paper, [...], glass, [fix]tures", "Aw[e]id[...]", "[Dan? Bingo] Development Co.", "A.H. Butler".
