Photographs: Then and Now (St. George Hotel/Mickey’s)

The following is from a work-in-progress about the history of Fullerton. You can support my ongoing research and writing on Patreon.

For this series, I compare a historic photo of Fullerton with a contemporary one from approximately the same angle. Below are two photographs of the northeast corner of Harbor Blvd. and Commonwealth Ave–one of the St. George Hotel from the 1890s (one of the first structures built in town), and the other of Mickey’s Irish Pub from 2023. Note: The St. George Hotel was built a little bit back from the streets).
