A black and white photograph of the courtyard at La Casa Nueva, ca. 1920s. The fountain is at the center on a raised stone walk. The center-piece of the fountain has two round stones. At the front of the fountain is a dirt area where there is a round planter. Flanking the courtyard are the west and east wings of the home. Each has an open walk on the first floor lined by six round pillars. Some furniture, tapestries, and potted plants are under each of the patios which have ceramic shingle awnings. On the second floor of each wing is an open patio with beams across the top. The north side of the home is across the back with an arcade on the first floor through which is seen the doors to the basement and Main Hall. Above this are six beams with carvings of the Temple family's pets. The balcony on the second floor has a wood baluster and the triptych window at the center. To the left of this is a door, and to the right the window to Edgar's bedroom. At the center of the foreground is an incomplete brick walkway, and at the right are two leafless trees. At the top left corner of the back is the number, "700." The photograph was housed in Agnes Temple's album which is item 96.7.94.1 along with many other photographs which span 96.7.1.1-.93.1.
