Description
A real photographic postcard, a residence in Los Angeles, 11 April 1911. The view from across the street of a large two story house with bay windows in front. Several thick trunked palm trees are planted on the side walk in front. A group of adults are sitting in lawn chairs in front of the porch. On the reverse, the ink inscription mentions splitting up the upper floor of the house and having every room full. The house was possibly used as a boarding house or hotel. With minor fading the object is in good condition overall.
