Riverside CA industry track Jul97 4
Commerce in Riverside, immediately adjacent to the Santa Fe mainline, had an industry lead lined with interesting old industrial buildings, including these classic fruit packing buildings at the corner of 6th & Commerce. The remains of the siding are still visible today, along with the building on the north side of 6th, but the classic wooden National Orange Company packing house (1898) is gone www.loc.gov/item/ca1677/ . Happily the classic Santa Fe depot is still around on the other side of the mainline, converted to offices. These photos were taken in July 1997.
