2026.001.110Description
Black-and-white photographic print depicting the entrance wall and façade of La Morada Hotel in Rancho Santa Fe, California. The image shows a low-profile stucco building with a tiled roof, arched entrance, shuttered windows, and an original perimeter wall fronting an unpaved roadway. An early automobile and several individuals are visible in the foreground. The mounted caption states that the building was designed by local architect Lilian Rice in the Spanish Mediterranean style, originally served as a guesthouse for Santa Fe Railway officials, and was later opened to the public by the Santa Fe Land Development Company and renamed “The Inn.” The caption further notes that the original wall visible in the photograph still marks the entrance to what is now The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and credits the image to the San Diego Historical Society Photographic Collection.Photograph Details
