History of Highland Park

 


Check out the article “Highland Park Ebell with Build this Beautiful Home” in the 20 July 1912 edition of the Highland Park News-Herald & Journal. The picture is obviously of the building that was built and can be found on Ave 57 just below Figueroa. The article estimates the building would take between $10,000 and $12,000 to build. Reality indicates they found the money. 

If you’re looking for old editions of local newspapers, including our own Highland Park News-Herald & Journal or Highland Park Post-Dispatch, you should check out the California Digital Newspaper Collection housed at the University of California at Riverside and available online at https://cdnc.ucr.edu/
