WORKMAN HOUSE SOUTHEAST ROOM EXTERIOR BEFORE RESTORATION, 1978
Color: Black; White
A black and white photograph of the Workman House southeast room exterior, ca. Jumy 1978. Taken before restoration, the room is featured in the center with the wall's grided plaster in disrepair. With cracks, smears, and breaks throughout, some of the underlying red-brick can be seen revealed in some portions of the wall. In the center of the first floor is a triple-fronted window with triple-arched cornice; molded brackets on either end below the cornice; closed wood shutters; and decorative columns seperating the three window panels. Along the left and right edges of the first floor are molded block designs. The home's pitched roof begins just above the first floor window and is lined with molded brackets. A semicircular window is located in the middle of the first floor; it has a rounded cornice with brackets on either side of the crnice ends. Black tarp covers the opwning of the window which has a sign below reading, "SE CORNER/ SOUTH SIDE." Part of the wood shingled roof over the south porch is seen in the background left, and a metal scaffold and chain-link fence are to the far right. Leaves and branches from a tree are across the top foreground. Written in black on the top left is: "WORKMAN RESIDENCE/ -S. E. CORNER, SOUTH SIDE - BEFORE RESTORATION/ -JEFF TYLER, PHOTO (ALHAMBRA, CA) NEG #6/ -3/8" SCALE/ -Taken ca. Jun/ July 1978." To the right is a stamp with the name and business information of Raymond Girvigian, the restoration architect. With no signs of wear, the image is in good condition.
