Eva Pursell’s cabin, Lake Arrowhead, CA. Year unknown. Shake siding, stone chimney, corrugated metal roof, timber porch, and a scrap wood fence. A mounted deer’s head, hammock, and a vase with flowers are visible on the front porch. Horse manure in foreground, with what appear to be automobile tire tracks visible as well.
Photographer unknown. Eva was J.W. Bledsoe’s sister-in-law. It is likely the photo was taken by him, and he certainly knew the location.
Arrowhead Springs Hotel, 1915, by JW Bledsoe. The “arrowhead” landslide for which the region is named is easily visible on the upper left side of the image. This is Arrowhead Springs Hotel #3, it was destroyed by wildfire in 1938 and replaced in 1939 (the 1939 version survives to the present, but is abandoned).
