Photograph of the ruins of Pio Pico's first home at Whittier Road, shown from across a pond, ca.1883. Three towers of crumbling adobe walls are shown, the remains of what was likely a two-story rancho. Bushes in the foreground obscure the lower half of the home, growing around the bank of the pond which is visible in the foreground.
