LOOKING BACK : PHOTOS FROM THE ARCHIVE
This photo looks north toward the intersection of California Street and Mariposa Avenue some time in the early 1900s . It is impossible to recreate this photo today ; the empty lot in the foreground was developed with homes well over a century ago . But remarkably , both homes facing California Street visible in this image still stand today . The home under construction on the far left is 1610 California Street . The home on the right is 1560 California Street . This area was originally subdivided as the Buena Vista Tract and featured large one-acre residential lots for those who wanted to live just outside of Mountain View in the countryside ( the city limits , at that time were Pettis Avenue ). Most of the one-acre lots were later subdivided as the area grew . Today this location lies in the heart of the Shoreline West neighborhood , the subject of our Spring meeting / webinar .
