Title	Exterior view of "The Old Mill" of the Mission San Gabriel, also known as "El Molino Viejo", San Marino, ca.1890
Description	Photograph of the exterior view of "The Old Mill" of the Mission San Gabriel, also known as "El Molino Viejo", San Marino, ca.1890. The mill, a single-story mission-style structure, features Spanish-tiled roofs and adobe walls covered with stucco. A set of stairs leads to a rectangular doorway (at right). To the left is a large arched passageway. The leaves from the trees in the foreground dangle above covering some of the sky scene.; "Around 1816, a water-powered gristmill and fortress, now known as 'El Molino Viejo' and considered the first water-powered gristmill in Southern California, was constructed (by Indian labor) at the southern border of Pasadena (now the City of San Marino). The mill is now a historical site situated just Northwest of Lacy Park, which was a natural lake at that time." -- unknown author, ca.2002.
