Photograph of three boys in front of an old log cabin brought by Elias J. Baldwin to Rancho Santa Anita from his father's home, ca.1940. The narrow, one-story shanty is pictured at center, surrounded by the lush vegetation, vines and the trunks of trees. The front door is open but the frame appears to be slanted to the right. The roof is constructed of thin wooden planks with many gaps between. In front, three boys stand near the steps to the cabin, which are made out of cobblestone. To the right, a plaque can be seen that details the history of the cabin.; The plaque reads: "Old Log Cabin. In the early 1880's E.J. Baldwin had this cabin transported from his father's farm in Hamilton, Indiana, where he spent his early boyhood, to Rancho Santa Anita".
