Notes

Description

At the time the photograph was taken, the adoabe was the residence of Elias J. ("Lucky") Baldwin. Originally a ranch of the Mission San Gabriel Archangel, founded in 1771, the Rancho Santa Anita had many owners after the secularization of the the missions in 1833. The photograph shows a view of a walkway bordered by Eucalyptus trees that were planted by owner William Wolfskill in 1865. To the left a wall of the 1839 adobe house of first post 1833 owner, Hugo Reid, can be seen, with the wood framed wing added by owner Elias Jackson Baldwin in 1879 visible in the background. Also visible is a "mission" bell hanging from a small, wooden structure at the end of the walkway.
