About this photograph
A young girl at play on the lawn of the Patterson House, photographed around 1915. The record identifies her as Sally Patterson but provides no further information about her or the household.
The Patterson House itself is not described in the archive's cataloguing. The photographer remains unidentified.
This photograph comes from California Revealed, a statewide digitisation programme that makes material from California libraries, archives, museums and historical societies publicly available. The programme tag indicates where the photograph was digitised rather than its original location or subject matter.
The record's hedged dating suggests some uncertainty about the precise year. Beyond the name, the location, and the approximate date, the archive offers no context for the scene or the people in it.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
