Photograph of exterior view of adobe home of Esteban Gonzales, 1886. The structure was built in 1857 by Esteban Gonzales (or Rodriguez) who also made the brick for the house. About 1871 the land was subdivided and known as the Morris Vineyard tract. U.S. General Kearney used this house. A veranda dominates this view. There are two small palm trees in front. Other trees can be seen at the side and foreground side. Another building is visible in the background.
