Description

Photograph of the Casa de Pedrorena, the first frame house built in Old Town, San Diego, ca.1920. A chicken-wire fence and lush garden barricade this elegant one and a half-story rancher behind its front lawn. Four sets of double-windows are shown, two to each side of the french door at center. Each window contains nine individual panes of glass. The architectural style suggests that the home is constructed in French Colonial Style. A palm tree is visible to the right while tall plants protrude from the enclosed garden at left. A sidewalk and paved road are visible in the foreground.; The house was built in 1850 by Don Miguel de Pedrorena, a Peruvian immigrant and well-respected citizen of San Diego. The picture file card divulges that the first newspaper was published in the house, and that Pedrorena married the daughter of Jose Antonio Estudillo, landowner and majordomo of San Luis Rey.
