Photograph of a bridge across the Arroyo Seco at Garvanza, showing the first cable-car to cross it, ca.1895. A group of eighteen people pose around and in front of a cable-car coming across the trestle from Cawston's Ostrich Farm in South Pasadena, approaching the U.S.C. College of Fine Arts in Garvanza. The man at the controls is named G.J. Roller. The L.A. and San Gabriel Valley Railroad, completed in 1885, is visible in the background crossing a second trestle across the arroyo. A hill is visible in the left distance.
Photograph of passengers on the Sierra Madre Stage Coach, Highland Park, Los Angeles, ca.1895. A group of at least a dozen passengers sit in a large carriage pulled by two horses, one white, one black. Rail tracks are visible embedded alongside them in the foreground, possibly from the San Gabriel Rail Road that the Stage's route was connected with for Los Angeles at Highland Park. Trees in the background overhand the travelers.
Photograph of an exterior view of Charles F. Lummis's rock home "El Alisal", ca.1898-1910. The two-story stone building can be seen at center. A tall cylindrical tower can be seen on the corner of the structure at center, and several large arched windows can be seen as well. Leafless trees are visible in the foreground, while a line of hills can be seen in the background at right.
