Title	Ruins of Elder Amasa Lyman's residence and the Mormon Council House, San Bernardino, (constructed?) February 23, 1865
Description	Photograph of the ruins of Elder Amasa Lyman's residence and the Mormon Council House, San Bernardino, (constructed?) February 23, 1865. A picket fence marks the property line in the foreground. Bare branched trees grow along the property line at right.; "A two story adobe building was erected by Elder Amasa Lyman as a home for his family which included five wives... each of the wives with her children had separate apartments, while a common kitchen and dining room was provided, but it is said, was never used by the women -- each preferring her own establishment. The house is described as having no window, but lighted from sky-lights above, and was facetiously named the "Steamboat" from some fancied resemblance. It stood next to the Council House on the north. The building was burned down, a but a portion of the adobe kitchen is still standing and forms a part of the kitchen of the Wozencraft house." -- Ingersoll History; "Mrs. Waters gave me the enclosed photograph which gives an accurate picture of the ruins which she thinks Vischer sketched. This print has an added interest because it shows the Mormon Council House in the background, directly south of the ruins. The Lyman house and the Council House both stood on the ground now occupied by the present San Berardino County Court House." -- G.W. Beattie
