Description

Photograph of a birdseye view of San Bernardino from the high school, ca.1905. A wide, unpaved road cuts across the image from the bottom left, dissappearing into a cluster of what appear to be pine trees to the right. In the right foregorund, a two-story Victorian-style home can be seen, behind which the spire of what appears to be a church is visible. To the elft, one-story rancher-style homes are arranged behind neatly-trimmed front lawns, some of which sport palm trees. Farther in the distance, a building in mock-medieval architecture sports not only beveled brick but a small tower as well. Mountains are visible in the distance.
