Portion of wine cellar at Anoakia showing two very large casks (almost room height) with printing on each: E. J. Baldwin's Pure Old wines and brandies-Santa Anita Vineyards-1876. Two small barrels also in photo.
The library does not have a print of this negative. A print appears on p.35 of WHERE RANCH AND CITY MEET. The negative was reproduced from a deck of Baldwin playing cards. This one portrays the Baldwin Winery. Printed along the bottom are the words THE WINERY.
Winery (brick portion of building) built according to Lupe Cuellar, in 1876. Shed built of wood was added later and converted to carpentry shop for Santa Anita Race Track. Winery was located on low hills just north of present race track building.
Vineyards on Baldwin Ranch. View is north from a point of present Huntington Drive. Chantry Flats Road is visible at right edge of photo. San Gabriel Mountains form background.
Aerial view due south from a position almost directly over sharp curve of Colorado Street. Showing in this photo are the Track and Club House on a day of large attendance, the stables, and a training track. All along Huntington Drive and Colorado Street young trees have been planted. Old-time resident Reid Greer says that the large tree at the very left edge of photo about 2 1/2 in. from bottom is same tree as seen in photo #654, on flat ground just below knolls seen here, and therefore he places homes of Indians on ranch at this spot. E.J."Lucky" Baldwin winery is only building seen on knoll. There is an "x" on reverse side to mark location. This photo belongs to the Huntington Library. It is shown here for research only.
