California - San Marino. El Molino Viejo

https://arcadiahistory.andornot.com/en/permalink/paintings23

Artist: Edna Lenz

Description: Old Mill (El Molino Viejo) -- This, San Marino's oldest (circa 1812) and most historic building, was the first grist mill in California. It was soon abandoned because water spiraling up the shaft dampened the grain and the meal could not be stored there.
