Description
Photograph of adobe under pepper trees in Sonora Town, ca.1887-1888. An adobe on New High Street is juxtaposed to the mansions on a hill, peeking through in the distance. The home of P. McFadden who started the Los Angeles water system can be seen in the foreground at left; the adobe at right was home of Marie Jesus Ybarra. The large Victorian style house on hill in distance at left was built by J.W. Robinson; it sat on a hill to the north of the present Sunset Boulevard, and west of the present Hill Street. The A woman and child are standing next to the most prominent tree in the foreground. The trees are pepper trees.
