Anaheim, Newport Beach, UCI, and monkeys

Today's photos show DeGroff's Delicatessen and market in Anaheim in 1949. Maybe some of you will have a memory or two of this place?
.
There's been another step in the right direction for the endangered Mariner's Medical Arts complex. Jaime Murillo, Associate Planner for the City of Newport Beach writes, "...The final draft of the assessment, prepared by Chattel Architecture, is now online... After discussing the findings of the report and the historical significance of the building with staff, the property owner (Westcliff Investors, John Bral, managing partner) is cooperating fully with the City to preserve the original building, including an extensive redesign of the proposed project to do everything possible to preserve and protect this important structure. Staff will continue to work with the property owner to assist in developing an alternative plan that would allow a minor addition to the original building, designed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, while preserving and rehabilitating the original structure."
.
The lobby of UCI's Langson Library currently features an exhibit entitled "Immigrant Lives in the OC and Beyond." It features a number of books, documents and other items from the Library's collection that deal with immigrant populations throughout the history of Orange County. The exhibit will be up through late April.
.
In case you missed it, the Register recently featured an article about the Santa Ana Zoo's monkeys. Why is this mentioned on a blog about local history? Because the cantankerous Judge Prentice originally donated the land to the city with the stipulation that the zoo always house at least 50 monkeys. Almost 60 years later, Prentice's decendants have found the zoo to be two monkeys short and are suing. Sheesh!

The Orange County Herald

Today's image is an advertisement for the Orange County Herald newspaper. This ad was printed in the 1901 Orange County Directory, which undoubtedly was an example of the Herald's "job printing of all descriptions." The quality of the printing was better than the image above would indicate. I've only posted a photograph of a photocopy of the original ad.
.
The Herald was established by Napoleon "Nap" Donovan as The Santa Ana Herald in April 1878. Donovan soon turned it over to James Layman, beginning a long history of ever-changing managment and ownership. In 1880 the Herald was purchased by Santa Ana pioneer Jacob Ross. Then, in Nov. 1881, James Alonzo Waite became publisher.
.
In Turn The Rascals Out!, historian Jim Sleeper writes, "Two things in life bothered Alonzo: Santa Ana farmers who didn't grow tobacco when it was bringing two-bits a pound and Republicans anywhere."
.
Waite remained until his death in the late 1880s, and was succeeded by his son, Ed. The paper was sold to Rev. A.T. McDill in July 1890 and switched to a Republican bent just in time for the elections. In addition to its politics, the paper also changed its name to The Orange County Herald.
.
In 1892, McDill sold the Herald to H.W. Bessac of Los Angeles and the curiously named Ransom Q. Wickham of Santa Ana. One year later, it sold yet again, to Linn Shaw and E. S. Wallace. It appears the paper went defunct under their watch in 1903.
.
[Most of this information came from Jim Sleeper's invaluable, Turn The Rascals Out!, and from J.M. Guinn's Historical and Biographical Record of Southern California.]

History at Fullerton Public Library

This book case housed the original Fullerton Public Library. It sat in William Starbuck's Gem Pharmacy on the southeast corner of Commonwealth and Spadra (Harbor) Blvd from 1888 to 1902. Eventually, of course, the library grew into the excellent system it is today. Meanwhile, the old cabinet is now housed on the fourth floor of Fullerton's Main Library, next to the Albert Launer History Room.
.
I stopped by the Launer Room today to search for a few old photos. It's a small but really wonderful collection of materials, from photos and maps to directories and local history books. Librarian Cathy Thomas is extremely helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. And some of her regular patrons are also quite helpful on questions of Fullerton history. (Thanks, Joe!)
.
If you haven't visited, please do so. And when you do, take special note of their framed map of "Orange County Adobes,... Trails, Ranchos & Springs" (similar to this one) above Cathy's desk. I'm going to ask Santa Claus for one of those next Christmas.
