Description

Photograph of an exterior view of an old adobe store in New Almaden mining camp, ca.1900. The long, brick store stands at center with a sloping, shingled roof and a small, wooden porch. The walls around the many rectangular windows are lightly-colored on top and dark on the bottom. Several men lean against the walls and posts under the shade of the porch. In front of the store are wooden posts with trees standing next to them and barrels piled beneath. What appear to be white, picket fences extend from either side of the store.
