Singleton Court photograph album

An album of 50 photographs of Singleton Court, the residence of mining businessman John Singleton, in the West Adams district of Los Angeles, California. The home was located at 2400 South Flower Street and was designed by architect Carroll H. Brown in 1887. After buying the house in 1900, Singleton hired Pasadena photographer William H. Hill to photograph the house, stable, and garden, and had the 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 inch prints mounted into this album. The leather cover is embossed "Singleton Court" and the first page is inscribed: "A memento, to Stella, from Singleton." The photographs include house exteriors and furnished interiors, landscaped grounds with tropical plants, a clock tower, a summer house, a palm-lined driveway, one view of a Mexican employee, a carriage, and one image of Singleton in formal attire with his two dogs, in front of the house. Singleton's handwritten captions are throughout the album.
