Photographs of Casa Alvarado, Mexico

Visual Materials

One album contains 11 matted gelatin silver prints of exteriors and garden features. The other album contains duplicates of these prints, plus three postcards and another print. The postcards were written to Yoch and Council by Zelia Nuttall, two from Tampico, Mexico, on New Year's Eve in 1931, and the other undated, from Mexico City. According to James Yoch, Yoch and Council did not provide original landscape design for Casa Alvarado, but may have contributed ideas and altered existing gardens at Casa Alvarado.
