Description
Photograph of a young girl posing in front of the Santa Cruz adobe (on north Broadway, Los Angeles?), ca.1900-1930. The single-story house appears to be in a state of disrepair. The stucco is chipping away from the walls of the house at certain areas. At other areas, it's decolorized. Wooden awnings jut from below the roof to provide cover for two of the four doors in view. A Behind the house to the left is a billboard sign. Another building and utility poles are visible in the background. Legible signs include: "[...]line", "[...]on [hot]el".
