Title Exterior view of the Alviso adobe in Pleasanton, 1937

Description Photograph of an exterior view of the Alviso adobe in Pleasanton, 1937. The one-story rancher-style adobe is pictured at center, behind the tangled branches of two trees on the property in front of it. The adobe is lightly-colored and has a raised porch and door, along with a shingled roof in which a stone chimney can be seen to the left. The door into the adobe is visible although its flanking windows are obscured by the foliage of saplings planted by the porch. The adobe was located on what would later be the property of Brigg's Meadow Lark Dairy.
