A black and white photograph of the front door of La Casa Nueva from the north side, ca. 1920s. The wooden door with glass geometric shaped glass panes are in view. Around the wooden door is the plaster that has the grape and vine designs and columns carved, flanking both sides of the archway.

Above the door is the platform of the balcony with the wrought iron bars visible. There are pieces of plaster on the floor, in front of the door. With a moderate crease, photographer's stamp of "VELOX" and "29," another stamp "WEBBS/APR 8 1926/SAN JOSE, it is in good condition.
