Title supplied by cataloger. The Casa Adobe was completed in 1918 by the Hispanic Society of California and donated to the museum in 1925. Modeled after the San Diego County landmark, Rancho Guajome, a pre-1850s Spanish California rancho, the Casa was designed by the office of architect Theodore Eisen and constructed in the traditional manner by local adobe craftsmen. Mr. & Mrs. Gabriel Ruiz, dressed in Spanish costumes, are dancing on a wooden stage in the garden at the Casa de Adobe, located below the Southwest Museum at 4605 N. Figueroa Street. A crowd of people watch from the verandah in the background. Five musicians are playing as they face the stage.
