Photograph of Charles F. Lummis (left, on stair over barrel) working on building his house with another man (right, swinging sledgehammer), [s.d.]. Their attention is focused on a cement wall. Various construction paraphernalia is scattered about the site. Another house is visible in the background beyond a big old gnarled tree. Avenue 43.
Photographic portrait of celebrated literary and cultural figure of Los Angeles, Charles F. Lummis, [s.d.]. Mr. Lummis is pictured seated here, dressed in a corduroy jacket and pants, possibly the green corduroy suit that became his trademark. His legs are crossed and rested to the right, while Lummis rests his left hand on his thigh. In the other hand he holds what appears to be the butt of a cigar up at chest level. His face is weathered and wizened, showing signs of both toughening and age. His white hair is thinning and wild, pulled far back off his forehead by his receding hairling. He looks to the far corner of his eyes off towards something outside of the right of the frame, knowingly. A handkerchief is wadded and stuffed into his jacket pocket at left.
Photograph of an exterior view of the Shepherd house in Highland Park, [s.d.]. The two-story house can be seen at center. It has wooden walls with scalloped siding on a cylindrical tower at right. A balcony can be seen across the front of the building on the second floor, directly above a covered porch. A neatly trimmed lawn can be seen in the foreground, while large bushes can be seen in front of the house. Another large house can be seen at right, while an unidentified building is visible in the background at left. The site was later occupied by Angelus Chevrolet.
