Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. The negative sleeve indicates the date of the photos as April. The photograph of the ranch house was published in the Los Angeles Times in February, making February a more reliable approximation. This photograph appears with the headline, "Rancho Las Tunas' Sale Recalls 'First Botanical Garden'," Los Angeles Times, 24 Feb. 1936: 12. Text from negative sleeve: 4665 Apr 9- 1936 Scenes around the Rancho las Tunas opposite the San Gabriel Mission 4/6/36 Handwritten from negative: front of Ranch House Text from newspaper caption: The ranch house of Rancho Las Tunas at San Gabriel, owned by the family of Col.
