Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 9: October, 1904 June, 1905 The cultured spanlsh-american homes are built of adobe and are of one story, but pen and ink cannot describe their charm. Usually they are constructed on three sides of a court in which are fountains, grass, owers and trees. Now and then is seen the gleam of a marble figure. The fourth side of the court is a wall in which are gates or doors. Formerly these walls were the height of the houses, but the old ones have crumbled and the new ones are low since the homes no longer need defence. The living rooms Open on this court and between the pillars of the cool inner portale the hammock sways and inviting couches or easy chairs tell of the dreamy leisure of these daughters of Castilian kings.
