Description"Relics of the Past / Laguna’s First House" supposedly depicts the first house in Laguna Beach. But this scene was revisited by Coburn again and again, and the title of another iteration scrawled in pencil on its reverse by Coburn himself betrays slightly more about the subject matter, "The House I Lived In." This work was donated to the museum by the artist's sister, Georgia DeLong.
