Abstract:
This collection of 230 photographs and 106 associated negatives documents buildings in East Irvine, California that were built at the turn of the twentieth century. The collection was compiled by Sanchez Talarico Association, Inc. in circa 1988 in order to document the site prior to demolition of some of the buildings. The area was the hub of activity on the Irvine Ranch, but with the growth of a planned community to the southwest beginning in the 1970's, East Irvine is now important primarily as an historical site. Most photographs depict the Irvine Bean Growers Association Building, Irvine Village General Store and service station, the Irvine Garage and blacksmith shops. Other photographs illustrate houses built in the early 1900s which may have been used by Irvine Ranch workers and tenants.
