Title
An old adobe in Sonora Town , ca.1920
Description
Photograph of an old adobe in Sonora Town, ca.1920. The adobe's roof and walls show signs of extreme disrepair. A man in a light hat and dark pants poses in front. Several signs posted on its outside advertise for "Camel" and a large sign to the right advertises a performance by Carmen Rodriquez at the Teatro Novel. A four-story building advertising Wrigley's chewing gum on its side wall has two spires and is visible in the background. Along the side of the building, several telephone poles can be seen. At left, a man can be seen walking near the large telephone pole.
