Also if you look closely you'll see the 'shrouded in trees' is how Ruxton depicts the house with the trees planted all along the south facing arcade.

The Sepulveda House (built 1887) in the 1920s. 'Italian Sausage Factory'

fascinating history: I am amazed the building has 22 rooms, I didn't realized it was so large. I'm also trying to visualize the 'breezeway' that separates the front businesses from the private quarters in the back.
