View NW up Santa Anita Wash toward San Gabriel Mountains. Caption says this was taken from Pacific Electric Railroad tracks toward Orange Street (this is present day Colorado Street).
Looking north toward San Gabriel Mountains at devastating Monrovia Peak fire on first night. It was to eventually burn more than 13,000 acres and be out of control for five days.
Photo taken by TABER (studio) shows 31 of Elias J. Baldwin's African-American employees. Elias J. Baldwin hired them from the south in 1886 to come work on the Baldwin Ranch. There seems to be only one man in photo. All others are women and children. They are standing next to a building with a long porch; doors and windows open off of it. San Gabriel Mountains are seen in background.
Close up of an ad that appeared in first issue of Arcadia Bulletin. Ad is for Clara Villa. It is billed as the "swellest resort in the San Gabriel Valley".
Photo on just completed Foothill Freeway in Arcadia. There are two signs in view. The first reads: ARCADIA CITY LIMIT Population 47,650 Elv. 475. The other reads: END FREEWAY.
Engine, coal car, and two passenger coaches standing on track. The train is of the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley line. The engineer is sitting at his window in cab. Several other crew members can be seen. San Gabriel Mountains form backdrop of photo.
View NW up flooded Santa Anita Wash from above East bank below Duarte Road, probably the street seen crossing photo from right to left about half way down. Nest crossing north with dark bridge, is Santa Fe Railroad tracks; next we believe to be for a pipeline; last clearly visible crossing is for Pacific Electric Railroad tracks. Photo was taken following extreme flooding in 1938.
Three men, three women, and two children are seen walking on grounds of Santa Anita Assembly Center for the Japanese. The San Gabriel Mountains loom up behind them.
View up Oakwood Avenue from Sierra Madre Blvd. following a snowfall. Note Santa Anita Ave. on the left marked by eucalyptus trees. Snow in the San Gabriel Mountains.

A doctor checks hand of evacuees as they line up near Pacific Electric Railroad cars which brought them to Santa Anita Assembly Center for the Japanese. Military personnel look on.
View east shows two balloons aloft over Arcadia and San Gabriel Valley. It is possible that first river up from bottom of photo is Rio Hondo Wash. Some of trees along Santa Anita appear to be in extreme lower right of photo. Tree-lined street showing in extreme lower left of photo is Duarte Road. Second river coming into photo about five inches up from bottom of photo would be San Gabriel River.
One balloon in sky (extreme left) and one balloon on ground with approximately 23 men making it secure. High wire fence in foreground. San Gabriel Mountains form background.
Shows six balloons inflated and secured just off the ground. Officers and men are in formations beneath the balloons. Buildings and tents of Ross Field are arrayed across photo. Eucalyptus make a row completely across photo. San Gabriel Mountains form backdrop.
About ten thoroughbreds and jockeys, round turn toward finish of a race at Santa Anita Park. San Gabriel Mountains loom up behind. One can tell that this is early years of the track because of the dust kicked up by horses. Later, track was completely excavated and new improved mixture was put in place.
Seven cars and trucks are pulled up to housing units at the Santa Anita Assembly Center for the Japanese and the people are busily unpacking and preparing to move in. About 19 people can be seen in the photo. The San Gabriel Mountains form a back drop.
Pacific Electric control tower near First Street and Santa Fe tracks. The car on the tracks probably is one of the Santa Fe self-propelled cars that ran from Los Angeles to San Bernardino. View to the northwest.
