Description

Photograph of an exterior view of Gail Borden's residence in Alhambra, [s.d.]. The residence was designed by L.B. Valk in the Spanish Eclectic style, built in 1900. It sits at center, occupying the majority of the middle-ground. Its walls are finished in light colored stucco, while its roof is covered with terracotta tile. An ornate portico with a large archway designates the main entrance. Windows are spaced evenly along both the first and second floors, with a bay window on the lower right side and dormer windows on the upper right side. A second-story balcony is visible on the left side of the second floor. A short set of stairs leads to another archway on the right side of the house. A bench sits to the left of the main entrance, facing the house, bordered by a curved concrete walkway that goes from the image's lower left to middle left. A large palm tree is at the far left of the image, in front of the residence; two other trees sit at center, and more trees are visible in the distance, at the right of the image.
