Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Willow Springs Mine and Stage Station, Kern County, ca.1900. A wheelbarrow and other farming implements stand to the left of center in a dirt clearing in the middle of several one-story buildings. A wheeled machine covered by a cloth and what appears to be a can of gasoline stand to the left. In the background the buildings are visible: to the right the building is made of rough-cut stone and features a wooden back edge. In the direct background, a similar building is shown from the front, no back edge visible, a tree and a utility pole standing in front of it. A taller, more narrow stone hut is visible with an eaves-shaded porch to the left.
