Description

A distant view of the Raymond Hotel Santa Fe Railroad station in Pasadena. A few railroad tracks run parallel to one another in the foreground and extend on an upward angle from left to right. In the distance at center stands the Santa Fe Railroad's Raymond Hotel station. A wide turret stands on the far right side of the building. To the left of it, there is a wide archway. A gable to the left of the archway contains a sign, which reads, "RAYMOND." Another, smaller, turret stands to the left of the gable. A person sits on a bench on the station's platform beneath the gable and to the left of the archway.
