Photograph of an exterior view of the home of Don Juan Forster at the Mission San Juan Capistrano, [s.d.]. The adobe building is shown at center, in disrepair. Its bricks are showing on its narrow side to the right, along with its loose wooden roof tiles. The eave of the roof hangs over to the left, shading the entrance, whose door and windows appear boarded-up. Farther to the left, a white, more heavily spackled portion of the adobe is visible. Mr. Forster bought the property from the mission. He was born in 1815, in Liverpool, England, a child from a very unpretentious family who grew up to become one of the largest landowners in all of California.; Picture file card reads: "Left to right: 1. Canedo Adobe 1794 (white portion); 2. Tomas Ramos Adobe--1852; 3. Ruined North wall of Miguel Verdugo Adobe. Together these form the only remnants of a long line of joined adobe houses on the east side of the old Camino Real through San Juan.".
