Description

It has no roof and its sides have begun to crumble, giving it a rounded appearance. The bricks are not covered by spackle. The area in front of the structure is covered in short desert brush and grass, and there are several trees behind the ruins. A mountain range is visible in the background. The is the house where a Cahuilla Indian named Alessandro was shot by Sam Temple. This crime was immortalized in the book Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson, which chronicles the life of Alessandro's wife Ramona.
