Photograph of a view of the Mission San Gabriel on Mission Road west of the church, ca.1900. A man on a horse and several other individuals stand to the left in front of the post-and-rail fence that separates them from the long adobe building to the right. The adobe features a terracotta-tiled roof and extended eaves that cover the patio the right, under which at least one more individual can be seen. The ground in front is dusty with weeds growing along the bottom of the fence.
