Historic Photos


During my research on the Loomis Ranch, I was fortunate to discover several photo collections that provide wonderful insight in to the Loomis family and their Ranch. The pages that follow provide a look at many of these photographs.

I have chosen to maintain the arrangement of the photos by collection, rather than another alternative. I greatly appreciate the effort and generosity that went into the preservation of these photos, and I feel this organization best honors those that have provided the photos for this collection.

My thanks to the following:

Sierra Club Photos - Robert B. Cates, Sierra Club - Angeles Chapter Historian, for providing high quality copies of photographs from the collection of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club.

Odo Stade Collection - Gordon Rowley, for preserving the collection of Odo Stade and kindly loaning portions to me for scanning and publication.

Sierra Madre Historical Archives - Debbie Henderson, Associate Librarian—Archival Collection, Sierra Madre Public Libary, for her early and continuing interest, support, and enthusiasm for this project.
