title: Exterior view of the E.L. Doheny mansion from across the street, on Chester Place, Los Angeles, 1910

description: Photograph of the exterior view of the E.L. Doheny mansion from across the street, on Chester Place, Los Angeles, 1910. A driveway leads to the 2-story-plus dwelling. It features tile roof, a tower with a hexagonally shaped roof on the front of the house, a walkway that circumnavigates the tower, awnings on several windows, and an immaculate front yard. Ornamental traceries outline the roofs. Palm tree and a variety of other trees line the sidewalks.; "The Doheny Mansion is the best preserved and most impressive of the late Victorian residences remaining in the West Adams district of Los Angeles. It was originally constructed in 1899-1900 for Oliver Posey, and sold to Edward L. Doheny in 1901. It is the major building (Number 8) in the exclusive residential park known as Chester Place, which was developed by Doheny. Many changes were made over the years during the occupancy of the Dohenys. The 1933 earthquake precipated many changes, including the addition of steel beams and columns to replace the original timber construction. The exterior now resemebles a French Gothic chateau. Following Mrs. Doheny's death in 1958 the residence passed to the Catholic Church, and became part of the Doheny campus of Mount St. Mary's College." -- unknown author.; "Built as one of a number of mansions in Chester Place, the Doheny Mansion was purchased by Edward L. Doheny in 1901 for $120,000 in gold coin. The Gothic Renaissance home, designed by Theodore A. Eisen and Sumner P. Hunt in 1898, includes 22 rooms and the city's first privately owned elevator. In 1906 the Doheny family received permission from the Italian government to copy a room from the Roma Museum for the mansion's ballroom. The Pompeian Room, inspired by discoveries made at Pompeii, is decorated with imported marble and a Tiffany glass domed ceiling. Many of the trees on the grounds were brought back by the Dohenys from their travels around the world." -- unknown author.

title: Eucalyptus blossoms and seed pods, ca.1925

description: Photograph of Eucalyptus blossoms and seed pods, ca.1925. About a dozen blossoms are spread open showing off their prickly petals. Several blossoms are still pods.; "This group consists of more than 400, quick-growing, tender, evergreen trees and some shrubs native to Tasmania and Australia. These unique trees can grow to gigantic proportions; some species can reach heights over 400 feet in their native habitats and up to 200 feet in California. Eucalyptus trees, also popularly known as Gum trees because some species exude a gum, are fragrant and normally pest-resistant. These trees have leathery, smooth, lance-shaped leaves, which have a more rounded shape when young. Their puffball-like flowers may be red or orange and are very attractive to bees. They have no petals, but instead, numerous stamens arising from a capsule-like calyx, which give them their fluffy appearance. The attractive, colorful bark of the stems and trunks of the Eucalyptus may be dappled in gray, green, russet, or cream and may peel in sheets. Besides the decorative qualities of the trees, Eucalyptus are valued for their timber, the important oils of the leaves and shoots, tannin, which is taken from the bark of some varieties, and a resinous substance known as kino. E. parvifolia is a beautiful, medium-sized species that has beautifully colored, peeling bark. At maturity, the leaves are small, slender, and blue-green. This species tolerates alkaline soil. E. citriodora (Lemon-scented gum) is a large, quick-growing tree with smooth, white bark and lemon-scented leaves. E. coccifera (Tasmanian snow gum) is a large tree with bloomy (bloom is a powdery, waxy substance sometimes covering plants) leaves and stems, not evident in young plants. The bark peels to reveal a white trunk. E. ficifolia (Red flowering gum) is a medium-sized plant with clusters of beautiful, feathery, red flowers up to a foot long. E. pauciflora subsp. niphophila (Snow gum) is a small, fairly slow-growing tree that is covered in large, leathery, grayish-green leaves. The multi-colored trunk has been compared to the skin of a python with its green, gray, and cream bark."-- unknown author

As was the case with many mining towns, the discovery of gold at Tonopah was quite by accident. It is said a prospector by the name of James Butler was tracking down his mules that were missing. After tracking them down, he picked up a rock to throw at them but did not for he noticed the rock was flecked with something that looked like gold. Indeed, it was. Credit is given to Mrs. Butler who staked out the claim and got things going. She named the mine Mizpah that turned out to be one of the richest producers in the area. Tonopah's peak period was around 1905 when it became the county seat. Like so many before it, the good times were not to last. Production began to decline noticeably about 1913 and the glory days were a thing of the past. However, Tonopah today is far from being a ghost town. Hotels, clubs, stores and restaurants are there for the comfort of the town's visitors. Tonopah is at the point where highway 95 intersects highway 6." -- Henry Chenoweth.
