Historic Resources along I-15 from Mira Loma to Murrietta - information requested
October 14, 2008 – 12:25 am by tanyaI was asked by a consultant for Caltrans if I would post this request for information on my blog, which I am happy to do. Although I grew up in Norco, I spent those salad days blissfully unaware of buildings aside from the shelter they brought. When I moved there with my family in the late ’80s they were just opening I-15 through Norco, which is really strange for me to think about. Anyway, if you know of some supa-mod buildings near the alignment of I-15 from Mira Loma to Murrietta (I think technically from the SR-60 interchange to the SR 215 interchange) Then read the information posted below:
HISTORICAL RESOURCS ALONG PART OF THE I-15 FREEWAY?
Our environmental consulting firm, ICF Jones & Stokes, is evaluating buildings to determine whether they are “historical resources” on behalf of Caltrans. We are evaluating buildings 1958 and earlier along a stretch of the I-15 Freeway, on about one half mile on either side of the freeway, beginning at the north roughly at the 60 Freeway, running through Norco, Corona, Murrieta and Mira Loma, and ending at the south near where the I-15 and 215 freeways converge. We, a team of architectural historians, are reviewing tract maps and aerial photographs, contacting and using historical information from private and municipal libraries in Riverside County, and of course using the web for specific and contextural material. But nothing replaces the value of people’s eyes and ears, and we would be very grateful for any information, about especially Mid-Century residential subdivisions, or insights you may have into that APE, or Area of Potential Effects. Please contact Senior Architectural Historian and Project Manager Carson Anderson, 213 627 5376 x 263, canderson@jsanet.com
I try my darndest to stay focused on modernism in the City of Riverside, but would love to hear about/see mod stuff in other parts of the county too, so pretty please, with sugar on top, put me on your cc line when you do contact these nice people, k?
