Photograph of a view of Santa Monica looking east from the Academy of Holy Names, ca.1900. A roof's corner is visible in the lower left, beyond which an unpaved road and a sidewalk can be seen. To the right, farther in a two-story craftsman-style home can be seen, along with a farmhouse even farther back at center. More houses can be seen along the horizon behind the trees that fill much of the rest of the frame.; "The Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary had arrived in Santa Monica in July 1899. They opened the Academy of the Holy Names on September 4 of that year in a small frame building on Fourth Street and Arizona. An intense fund-raising drive was launched immediately and a more substantial Academy building was erected in 1900 at Third and Arizona. The dedication of the school on February 22, 1901 was celebrated with a grand parade, fiesta and banquet. Juan Carrillo was parade marshal. Special trains brought guests from Los Angeles." -- unkown author.
