Anaheim Colony Historic District
Since 2001, architectural photographer John Bare has documented numerous historic residential districts throughout Southern California. Today SoCal Landmarks is presenting selections from the Anaheim Colony Historic District. While some of the homes and buildings may be noteworthy on their own, the goal of John’s documentation, and our presentations, is to provide an overview of the districts and the variety of architectural styles that contribute to their distinction. The Anaheim Colony Historic District covers roughly 1,200 acres bound by today’s North, South, East, and West Streets. This was the land purchased for the Los Angeles Vineyard Society to cultivate grapes – the original German colony founded in 1857. This is the city’s first and largest Historic District adopted by the City Council in October 1997. Over 1,000 qualified structures are located in the district.
