Photograph of a view of the Evertsen Adobe obsucred by a large tree in San Gabriel, 1960. A tall, broad tree stands in the foreground at center, filling most of the image. Behind it, a squat, one-story adobe can be seen, its exterior walls alternately brick and wood jacketing. A sliver of sidewalk can be seen in the extreme foreground. The adobe was built in 1850 by John R. Evertsen who was charged with taking the first U.S. Census of the City and County of Los Angeles.
