  Photograph album of a family and their home in Westlake Park, Los Angeles

  Visual Materials

  An album of 28 photographs of a well-off Los Angeles family and their expansive, richly appointed home directly across the street from Westlake Park (now MacArthur Park) in Los Angeles. The photographs were likely taken shortly before American businessman Homer Laughlin bought the home, as a handwritten caption notes it was sold to Laughlin of "East Liverpool, Ohio." Images include photographs of the exterior and various interior rooms, showing furniture, a grand piano, several angles of the parlor, the dining hall, "Papa's Room," and the children's room. Other photographs depict the lush garden around the home, often including children Marion and Elizabeth playing or picking "California wildflowers" with their grandmother Louisa and other family members, including one of "Papa" labeled with the initials "E. G. J." The family home's address is given as 9th Westlake Avenue, possibly what is current day Alvarado Street. Other photographs include women in fancy Victorian dress, images of Westlake Park, the bells of San Gabriel Mission, and a group photograph of "the Dane family, Pasadena." This is most likely Ezra Dane (1828-1921) and family at their "Sunny Ridge" residence.
