Consists of five photographs. One photograph is of the Law Quadrangle at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Four mounted photographs are of a group outing at the Casa Verdugo restaurant (later La Ramanda, and also known as Catalina Verdugo Adobe), which once sat at the terminus of a Pacific Electric Railway line at Casa Verdugo Park. Featured in these photos are the proprietress Piedad Yorba de Sowl's daughter Viola Yorba, and Viola's cousin Ernest Martinez, who performed as child singers/dancers at the restaurant, along with their dog, Negro, who was a popular greeter for the establishment. The Casa Verdugo photos were transferred from the Henry Edwards Huntington Papers (formerly HEH Biographical File).
