In 1857 Joseph Mullally built a fine residence of single-story brick on the southeast corner of Buena Vista Street and College Street.
It later became the home of Charles B. Woodhead. It was said to be the first brick house in Los Angeles.
This view is from 1883

I don't recall ever seeing a photograph of this house before. Does anyone know how long it stood?
