Photograph of an exterior view of the Avila Adobe Homestead on Olvera Street, June 25, 1928. The long, wooden structure stands at center with the corner of a second, brick structure to the right of it. The adobe has a wooden porch which stands several feet above the dry, dirt ground. Two small staircases reach from the ground to the porch where several lightly-colored doors and windows stand in the dark walls. A small automobile is parked in front of the adobe on the left while electrical lines extend above the adobe's roof.
