Photograph of an exterior view of a farmhouse in the community of Wilmington, Los Angeles, ca.1890-1899. The two-building complex is shown at center, behind which a windmill can be seen. Both houses are one-story and built in the rancher-style. A man, a woman and a child stand in front of the property's post-and-rail fence, at the back of the field of overgrown grass that stands in the foreground. Clusters of trees are visible both at the left and right. Both houses feature shaded wraparound porches.
