Some of the earliest LEGO pictures showing adults building LEGO was from
LEGO Building Idea Book #1 (the first LEGO idea book issued 1960-67).
Check out the last few pictures in this website (it'll take a while to
load the pictures):

Notice the picture of the married couple with their dream house.  That
house became the model for the very first LEGO model kit, the 1961
(early version) Junior Constructor (#717), which was a Samsonite only
set.  But this catalog picture has no 3 window dormer over the entrance
door on the left (which the 717 set has).

Is is a little flyer, which takes the form of a photograph, and it
appears to confirm that TLG (TLC?) is now actively marketing their
products at the adult market:
