Description
Photograph of the Carrion Adobe shown from a distance, San Dimas, 1938. The L-shaped adobe stands at center, just to the right of a tall, narrow tree. The rightmost portion of the adobe is slightly taller than the left, possibly one-and-a-half stories tall, and features a window in its narrow side that appears to open to a loft of some sort. A brick chimney is obscured at the peak of the other section's roof, which extends over the entranceway to create an awning. The spackle is chipping away in numerous small areas all across the building's facade. In the foregorund, a barbed-wire fence diminishes into the right distance. Compares to CHS-12488 this record shows a closer shot of the same adobe in the same year. "The correct name of this adobe is La Casa Adobe de Saturnino Carrion. It was given to Carrion by his uncle, Ygnacio Palomares...On the west outside wall of the adobe is penciled 'After many years of wandering through the world I return to the house which was founded by my forefather in the year 1860. F.C. Carrion, 1924". Palomares was the grantee of Rancho San Jose.
