Photograph of an exterior view of the Sanchez Rancho adobe in the San Pedro Valley, ca.1937. The large, two-story adobe is shown at center, emerging from a swath of forest. Its second floor includes a wrap-around balcony, which serves as an awning for the first floor. Three windows can be seen on each floor on the facade of the adobe, while it appears as though doors are spaced at regular intervals down the broad side to the left. An inscription on the bottom of the balcony at front reads "Adobe House".; Earlier version of record reads: "The adobe was located about 15 miles south of Golden Gate, near Rockaway Beach, later occupied by Hawaians. An artichoke field. The first Portola Expedition camped near here and it was from the hills back of Pedro Valley that the expedition first saw San Francisco Bay".
