Photograph, Reproduction: A black and white reproduction photograph of adobe construction at the Casa Verdugo, Glendale, no date (perhaps late nineteenth or early twentieth century.)

A third man stands at the right edge. In the background is a man standing next to a newly fashioned brick with a number of long rows of adobe laid out to dry. To the left of this man are piles of dried brick. At far left is a railroad track. In the far background are two rows of poles with white tops and dark bases. A field and part of a hill are in the furthest part of the background. The photograph is in mint condition. At the rear top in pencil are, "MAKING ADOBE AT CASA VERDUGO/N.D." and "#5196." At lower right back is stamped, "This print may not be used without written/permission from the California Historical/Society/Ticor Title Insurance (Los Angeles/Collection of Historical Photographs."
