Photograph of an exterior view of Juan Matias Sanchez's rancho, "Rancho La Merced", in Montebello, ca.1907. The ranch house is a long, low structure with a covered porch held up by ivy-covered posts. There are two second-story windows protruding from the peaked roof. A large pepper tree stands in the yard in front of the house, and several more trees are visible behind it. In 1875, Sanchez pledged his land as security for a loan by Lucky Baldwin to the Temple and Workman Bank. With the bank's later failure, the ranch land was forfeited.; Nowadays, the Juan Matias Sanchez adobe's adress is 946 N Adobe Ave., Montebello, CA 90640.
