Preliminary Study for the California Arboretum, Santa Anita, 1947

Description:
Structure labeled "exist. adobe building" is probably the Hugo Reid Adobe, which is the only area in the site that has been excavated by archaeologists. Hugo Reid, who was married to a Tongva woman, was the first recorded owner of the land. The site is now called the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden and is currently (2011) open daily during business hours for visitors, at a fee. Cornell was a member of the Southern California Horticultural Institute, which created the Arboretum, and was on the board for several years and acted as chairman of the board for a number of years.
