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. The first photo below is of a Craftsman-style bungalow house built by Dallison Smith Linebarger at the southwest corner of Pomona and Wilshire around 1911. Linebarger moved to Fullerton in 1899, just two years after the town was founded. He owned a livery business and then a citrus ranch. He also served for ten years on the Orange County Board of Supervisors. The house was demolished in 1981 when the Wilshire public parking structure was built. The lot was later developed into a downtown park to complement the plaza, which is shown in the second photo.
