Fullerton Photos by Edgar Lara

In 2012, Fullerton Heritage engaged Fullerton College student Edgar Lara as an intern to photograph buildings around the city. As part of the Fullerton Historic Survey in 1978, photographs were taken of historic residences, commercial structures, and other properties for identification purposes. While those photographs have been invaluable to researchers, homeowners, and city staff, they have become dated. Lara was instructed to take shots of historic buildings, but also to photograph mid-century buildings close to fifty years old that have been significant to Fullerton's history. This collection presented here is just a few of the photographs taken; the rest are on file in the Local History Room of the Fullerton Public Library. All of the photographs are available for public use.
