Description

Black-and-white photographic print depicting a large lounge interior at La Morada Hotel, later renamed The Inn, in Rancho Santa Fe, California. The room contains multiple upholstered sofas and armchairs arranged in seating groups around tables, along with wooden chairs, lamps, and decorative plants. Heavy exposed roof beams and trusses span the ceiling, while broad arched openings connect the lounge to adjoining interior spaces. Tall multi-pane windows and glazed doors admit natural light into the room, and radiators are positioned along the walls. An upper-level window or balcony opening with a wrought-iron railing is visible high on the far wall. The lower left corner bears the photographer’s mark “Harold A. Taylor, Coronado,” and the number “18661” appears nearby.
