What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in San Gabriel
Older blocks around the mission hold Spanish Revival and Craftsman homes, while newer condo buildings may have a gas fireplace or none at all. Reports begin by confirming what exists, because a condo owner and a Craftsman owner are asking two very different questions. Flashing and crowns tend to reveal themselves as leaks in the rainy months. Hot, dry summers and cool nights cycle the masonry back and forth year after year, and a fault called the Raymond follows the valley's north side not far away.
