Photograph of a panoramic view of the Huntington residence (Judge O.W. Childs Place), Los Angeles, ca.1908. The residence, whose property spans from Main Street to Hill Street and from Eleventh Street to Twelfth Street, is shown here with a wide view of the house and lawn, showing people situated in several disparate areas. In the distance, individuals can be seen sitting on the steps of the two-story clapboarded house, and on its porch. Most of the upper story is obscured by the foliage of two trees that flank it to either side. In the section of the lawn directly in front of the house, which is separated from it by the crescent of the driveway, two adults sit on a bench beneath one of the flanking trees while two children sit on the ground approximately twenty feet away from them to the left. Three women can also be seen sitting on a second bench in the same area a similar distance to the right with a third bench full of people visible across the drive in the patch of lawn behind them. A fourth bench full of people is visible next to the house at the far left, with even more bench visitors in the distance at the extreme right, beyond which a house from the neighborhood is visible. A dead tree stands in the front portion of lawn to the left.
