Roosevelt Palm, Victoria Avenue, Riverside, California

 

circa 1910

 

 

Victoria Avenue was modelled after Riverside's Magnolia Avenue, a dual carriageway with wide median, separate lanes for east- and west-bound trafffic, leading through citrus groves in Arlington Heights from the viewpoint here on Victoria Hill. On May 7, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt planted a Mexican Fan Palm tree (right) at the corner of Victoria Avenue and Myrtle Avenue (Victoria Avenue being the main corridor in Riverside at the time) in commemoration of his visit and to honor the parkway. Written in the bottom right corner on the front of the card is the publisher's number: S-265. The publisher's logo is on the divided back.

The O. Newman Company operated between 1904-1918, limiting the production of this card to 1907 (divided back) to 1918.
