Photograph of an exterior view of the Miguel Parra adobe seen through bushes, San Juan Capistrano, 1939. The one-and-a-half story rancher-style adobe is pictured at an angle just to the left of center, diminishing towards the right background. A wood-shingled annex that demarcates the top half-story is visible extending from the roof, a large window opening through it to what is presumably an attic. A second adobe can be seen in the background to the right. Large bushes flank the image to either side: in the extreme foreground at left, and in the background to the right.
