Historical photograph of the Mathias Dresher family home at 570 Kains Avenue, circa 1918, showing original architecture before remodeling. Public domain image.


This photograph documents the Mathias Dresher family home at 570 Kains Avenue, taken around 1918. The image shows the residence in its original architectural form, before later alterations were made to the structure.

The photograph was created by Marjorie Elston. The record does not identify the location of Kains Avenue or provide details about the Dresher family.

The photograph is held by the Internet Archive and comes from material digitised through California Revealed, a statewide effort that makes historical collections from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies available to the public. Because California Revealed works with many separate institutions across the state, the programme name indicates where the photograph was digitised rather than its geographic subject.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
