Description

Photograph of an exterior view of the Monument School near the Mexican border in San Diego, ca.1939. A short, one-story building in what appears to be the California Bungalow style of architecture, is shown at center. A sign above its offset porch steps identifies its name. To the left, two slender sheds stand next to the building. A tall, steep hill is visible in the background while a dirt road can be seen in the foreground.
