Visual Materials
A collection of 137 photographs from the life of Anita Baldwin, focused primarily on her mansion "Anoakia" built in 1913 in Arcadia, California. Baldwin inherited the land from her father, E. J. "Lucky" Baldwin, and built a 50-room Italian-Renaissance style mansion, seen in a set of 69 mounted photographs by Harold A. Parker, and snapshots. Photographs show wood-paneled rooms (one with murals by Maynard Dixon), Native American and Asian artifacts and decor, house and stables, a swimming pool and a Greek-revival style bathhouse. The collection also contains views of Baldwin's hunting lodge "Nid-ji-eh Wa-ri" at Fallen Leaf Lake, Lake Tahoe, showing interiors decorated with animal heads and hides, and one photograph of Baldwin on skis in the snow. Baldwin is also seen in portraits and on a trip to Egypt in 1925, posing on a camel with pyramids in the background. There are a few photographs related to her involvement in the American Red Star Animal Relief organization, including a parade and banquet scenes with soldiers. There are three photographs of the ruins of the Baldwin Hotel and Theatre in San Francisco after the fire that destroyed it in 1898.
