- Description:
- Photograph of a residential street in Redlands, showing a tree-enclosed house on the left, ca.1900. A row of large trees separate the street on the right from the sidewalk to the left of them. A small, stone wall stands between the end of the sidewalk an intersecting road in the foreground. A cobblestone path cuts through the wide yard of thick trees to a large house at the top of a hill on the far left. An automobile drives along the road in the background on the far right. According to a USCDL patron Marie Reynolds, "the house was built in 1891 for Newton S. McAbee and acquired in 1895 by Mrs. George W. (Gertrude) Bowers. The address has been changed from 725 to 1125 W. Crescent and again to 1400 Sterling Road. The home is constructed of redwood. Brush fire in July 1950 destroyed all the outbuildings and most of the vegetation. Subdivision below the house occurred ca. 1956. Fire on Thanksgiving 1976 burned the 3rd story and attics of the main house. Falling tree (ca. 1980) destroyed the front porch new porch and second-story veranda added".
