Plaza-Oxnard, Ventura County, California, 1910

 

1910

[Curt Teich and Company, Incorporated, Chicago, Illinois]

Benham Company, Los Angeles, California

This is the plaza park in downtown Oxnard, with a pagoda at the center of four walkways. The pagoda's architect was Alfred F. Priest, whose design was approved in February 1910. Behind it, a sign says "Poggi's Drug Store" (I. M. Poggi, who sold postcards). Underneath that the word "Webster" is visible. Behind the plaza on the far left is a sugar beet factory. The view is from the top of the Oxnard Hotel. The Teich number at the bottom of the divided back is A-16524, from which the date was partially derived. Also on the back is a seal of the Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, 1915, as well as the contributor's logo and the Southern Pacific Railroad motto "On the Road of a Thousand Wonders."
