Photograph of the exterior view of the Adobe stage station in San Francisquito Canyon ca.1930. The adobe was built by Marta Caravajales and Juan Celis. Later it was used by Major Ben Gorman as a stop on a stage line he operated between Los Angeles and the Mojave and Willow Springs mines in the early 1870s. Probably built about 1856-8. It escaped destruction by the 1927 San Francis Dam disaster, being above it. A chicken-wire fence stands in front of the building, barely visible because the area surrounding the house is covered in tall wild grass (or wheat?). Trees are visible in the background.
