Description

Photograph of a view of San Luis Obispo, showing a swath of field, ca.1870. At center, a small shed stands just in front of what appears to be a post-and-rail fence, beyond which a swath of grassy field can be seen. To the right, a dirt road bends down the middle of the town, which is pictured in the distance, filled with residences. Hazy mountains can be seen on the horizon.
