Northside - City of Riverside

Example of modern Corsican style lighting on First Street
The former right-of-way is now being filled with new construction between Orange
and Lemon Streets, and two historic homes, one from east of the SR-91 and one from
the city of Chino (2926 and 2909 Lime Street, respectively), have been moved onto
lots on the southern edge of the former railroad property on Lime Street, bridging
the gap between the St. Andrews Terraces NCA and its neighbors to the north.
Another single-family residence, the William Collier House (1892) was relocated
from just south of the Mile Square into the St. Andrews Terraces NCA in April 1987
at the northeast corner of First and Lime Streets (3092 Lime Street). In addition, in
July of 1952, a historic home was removed to the southwest corner of Orange and
Poplar Streets (2709 Orange Street) when it was threatened by a plan to construct a
parking lot on its former site at 3549 Orange Street in the Mile Square. This house
along with its three neighbors to the south (2743, 2759, and 2791 Orange Street) is
owned and managed by Whiteside Manor, an organization that provides residential
substance abuse treatment centers (see also discussion under Residential
Development within Early Development on the Northside, 1870-1900).
A few vacant parcels are extant – on the west side of Orange Street, north of Russell
Street, on Mulberry Street, and scattered throughout the area. Though this property
is not currently part of the freeway, it appears that the properties along Orange
Street, which included an ice cream factory at the northwest corner of Orange and
Russell Streets and six dwelling to the north, may have been displaced during
construction of the SR-60 along with neighbors to the west on either side of Main
Street (1941 Sanborn Map).
