Photograph of the entrance to estate of Ogden Mills at Millbrae, Camino Real on San Francisco Peninsula, 1937. A road extends across the foreground and intersects the dusty road that reaches into the estate at center. The metal gates are open with lit light posts at either side of the opening. Plants cover the fence at right while climbing plants only mildly decorate the left side of the fence. Tall trees shade the estate's grounds on either side. The road curves out of view to the left background.
