Photographs: Then and Now (City Hall/Police Station Sunken Patio)

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 sunken patio of what was originally City Hall at the northeast corner of Commonwealth and Highland Avenues–one of the patio being built in 1940 as a WPA project, and the other from 2023. The building is now the Fullerton Police Station.
