This collection contains photographs of Henry E. Huntington (1850-1927) and his family in New York and California, as well as early photographs of the Huntington residence and estate in San Marino, California, and the private railroad cars of the Huntington family. The family photographs are primarily portraits of Henry E. Huntington, his parents, uncle (Collis P. Huntington), spouses, children and grandchildren. Many views are late-19th century cabinet cards and presentation prints in sleeves with imprints of photographers in San Francisco and New York. Also notable are two autochrome portraits of Henry E. Huntington by Arnold Genthe, 1916; a framed crayon drawing after a photograph of Henry as a young boy, and a framed portrait of Collis P. Huntington, approximately 1900. Photographers represented in the collection include P. R. Young, Theodore C. Marceau, Pach Brothers, James M. Landy, Arnold Genthe, Isaiah West Taber, Carleton E. Watkins, Rieman and Co., W. E. Dassom, Charles Freiot, Robert E. Tener, and George Steckel. This collection also includes views of Collis P. and Henry E. Huntington's private railroad cars – the Alabama, Oneonta, and San Marino – accompanied by a file of related correspondence, clippings and a blueprint of the floor plan of H. E. Huntington's Pullman car, 1916. The final portion of this collection consists of early scenes of the Huntington estate in San Marino: the building of the Huntington residence (now The Huntington Art Gallery), 1908-1910; a group portrait of workers; and a leather-bound photograph album of 63 views of the Huntington residence, gardens, grounds and statues, approximately 1925; Henry E. Huntington appears in several photographs, posed on the grounds. There are copy negatives on file for some images.

A family photograph album with snapshots of a large residence, smaller dwellings and extensive grounds, in what appears to be the San Francisco Bay Area, California. There are many views of a main house and details of landscaping, woods, and vegetation, with several close-ups of harvested fruit and vegetables. Unidentified men, women and children appear in scenes on the property, and children are seen swimming in an unusual above-ground concrete swimming pool next to a small house with bamboo siding and fencing. The album begins with photographs of a street and long driveway, with the address "2000" on a stone. The main house pictured is a large Swiss-chalet style residence, with some elements of Arts and Crafts style architecture, situated on a hill, with a view. Interior views show rich furnishings, tapestries, and a large kitchen with canning jars set out for fruit. The house and its residents are unidentified.
