Central business districts -- California -- Turlock
Commercial buildings -- California -- Turlock
Description:
The commercial development of Turlock began with a general store, in 1871, that sold a wide variety of merchandise, from
canned food to farm equipment. It sometimes served as a bank, and the primary customers were farmers. Over time the businesses
grew more specialized as can be seen in this photograph. Note the angled parking of the cars that was a hold over from the
use of horses to ride and to pull wagons. The horses' reins were secured which meant their heads faced the building and therefore
wagons angled out into the street.
