This view of the porch taken from garden in front of the building includes a path along the front of the building as well as the steps and flags of Casa De Adobe. The Casa de Adobe, located below the Southwest Museum at 4605 N. Figueroa Street, was completed in 1918 by the Hispanic Society of California and donated to the museum in 1925. Modeled after the San Diego County landmark, Rancho Guajome, a pre-1850s Spanish California rancho, the Casa was designed by the office of architect Theodore Eisen. Constructed in the traditional manner by local adobe craftsmen, the rooms were decorated with antique furniture and the courtyard was planted with jasmine, oleander, fig trees, and grapevines. Casa de Adobe is now California Historical Monument No. 493 and is operated by the Autry National Center.
