Description

Photograph of an exterior view of the San Diego Historical Museum, ca.1930. The two-story building is pictured at left and appears to be made of adobe, a large tower extending from its leftmost point. To the right, a colonnade trails from the main building over a gently sloping hill. Just in front of the main building, a winding path can be seen cutting through a garden of trees, and bushes where a statue of what appears to be a friar can be seen.
