Northside - City of Riverside

had the home turned 90 degrees to face Prospect Avenue, and later the residence
was used for apartments. In 1986, James and Tracy Youden proposed to move the
residence (moved April 1987) to facilitate proposed development and have carefully
restored it (Hall 2003:17-20).
2452-56 Wilshire Street (ca. 1890) 3820 Ridge Road (1891-5)
Chino House (ca. 1890), 2909 Lime
Guffin House (1899), 2926 Lime St.
Two homes have been moved into the Southeast Quadrant onto lots on the southern
edge of the former railroad property on Lime Street – 2909 and 2926 Lime Street -
bridging the gap between the St. Andrews Terraces NCA and its neighbors to the
north. The Queen Anne style grove house (ca. 1890) now located at 2909 Lime Street
was moved to Riverside in 2005 from its se cond location at 11756 Central Avenue in
city of
Chino when threa
tened by a strip mall development. Little is known or
availabl
e about this property, and further research and field study will be required
to determine if it is eligible for local designation after restoration work is completed.
The Guffin House (ca. 1899), an early example of the Classical Revival style, was
recently acquired by Caltrans through imminent domain to facilitate an I-215/SR-
60/SR-91 improvement project. The residence was constructed sometime between
1899 and 1901, when city directories first show Lewis H. Guffin and his wife Ruth
residing in the house; before this time, L.H. Guffin is simply listed on Orange Street
between First and Russell Streets. Moved from its original location at 3197 1 st Street
in
2004, it has not yet been
placed upon the foundation at its new home site at 2926
Lime Street. Though it was determined ineligible for listing in the National Register
in 2000 (Bricker 2000), evaluation for the California Register was not completed; the
residence is designated as a City Structure of Merit (#95).
