Photograph of an exterior view of the Palomares Adobe, shown from the narrow side and in extreme disrepair, Pomonoa, ca.1938. A large creeping plant of some kind has grown to cover the entire edge of the adobe's roof, and is shown at center cascading down over the side of the building. The roof itself appears to be sliding off of the adobe frame, down to the right, and is collapsing in certain places. The brick of the adobe can be seen farther back, just right of center. A bush cuts in from out of the frame, also at right.
