WOODS IDE. 



RFSIDEM : OS. OLEMA. MARIN CO.CAL. 



A lithograph of the Nelson H. Olds Ranch, "Woodside," made in 1869. Although some artistic license was 

 taken, the image is remarkably accurate as far as ranch buildings and layout. The house is seen in its original 

 state, without a kitchen addition; the carriage house is seen to the left. The large barn was new, rebuilt after 

 an earthquake destroyed the previous one the year before. On the right is the squatter's house and the 

 creamery. Notice the landscaping, and compare with the bottom photograph, evidently taken soon after the 

 lithograph was made. Joseffa Stewart found this lithograph in the bar at Nelson's Hotel in Olema and took it 

 home for restoration many years ago. Courtesy of the Boyd Stewart family.
