Description

Photograph of the residence of the Andrew McNally and family (of the map making firm of Rand McNally & Company), 654 East Mariposa Street at the corner of Santa Rosa Avenue, Altadena, ca.1900. A long walkway leads up to the house. Many plants and trees crowd the area on either side of the path. The house itself is three stories high and has a round turret at left. General Wentworth and friends are picking flowers in the garden. Part of another house is visible at right. Behind the house can be seen Echo Mountain at the base of the famous Mount Lowe Railway which leads up to the Mount Lowe Tavern (all later dismantled). Also visible is snow-covered Mount Wilson in the winter.
