Description

Black-and-white photographic print depicting the early Rancho Santa Fe Village and town center along Paseo Delicias, with La Morada, later renamed The Inn, centered in the background. The broad unpaved roadway extends through the village toward the hotel complex, with additional low commercial or community buildings visible to the left. Young trees are planted throughout the surrounding open landscape, and utility poles and largely undeveloped terrain are visible beyond the village. The lower left corner bears the inscriptions “R.S.F. 23” and “5-23-23,” and the lower right corner bears the photographer’s mark “Herbert R. Fitch, San Diego.”
