This weekend I woke up super early for a saturday morning and went on a downtown walking tour of my new community, Fullerton. Alongside some of my best friends, we learned how the Amerige Brothers found this beautiful city amongst wild mustard fields in 1887 and began developing it in 1904. If you want to learn more about Fullerton, make sure to check out the Downtown Fullerton Walking Tour and you will be delighted at how much history is in this town.

Built in 1907, the Fullerton Museum was once known as the Carnegie Library and is reminiscent of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. And around the corner, the beautiful steeple of the First Lutheran Church, stands on top of a church that the congregation built themselves in 1942. I think thats so cool!

I simply love the detailing of these Post Office boxes. I just imagine the craftsman who worked on every detail and took such pride in his work. They just don’t make them like they used to! Anyone who lives in Fullerton has stopped in front of the Dewella Apartments and been impressed.  For me, this beautiful apartment built in 1929 is simply spectacular. I am reminded of cool street artists when I see these original murals painted on the old brick building of the Bourbon Street Bar & Grill. And I am shocked that I don’t see movies being filmed at Fullerton High School. This place is GORGEOUS! A huge WPA fresco mural is painted alongside the auditorium. It was funny to see people smoking in the mural and ladies with provocative clothing, considering it’s at a high school. It was once painted over, but thankfully, since it’s a fresco, the chalk was embedded into the plaster allowing it to be restored.
