Exterior view of the first house in South Pasadena, Los Angeles, ca.1900

Photograph of the first house in South Pasadena, Los Angeles, ca.1900. An elderly woman and gentleman stand with the attention of a younger couple, the man of which is holding a bicycle upright by its handlebars. A huge wash of roses blooms over their heads, clinging to the house, which is just barely visible behind it. Picture file card reads "O.R. Doughtery who ran a shoe store in Pasadena, owned 10 acres in South Pasadena and was one of the first inhabitants of this rancho."
