Historic Packing Houses and Other Industrial Structures in Southern California Hemet, CA All photos by Marty Quaas Copyright 2009, 2011 by James E. Lancaster, Ph.D. Notice: The photographs on this web page are the property of the contributor and may not be used for any purpose without permission. These photos of Hemet were taken in July 1964 by Marty Quaas. In photos 1 and 2 the view is south-southwest and in photos 3-8 the view is north or northeast. The photo locations were determined by referring to 1933 Sanborn Fire Insurance maps and Google Maps. The Google Maps Street View was particularly helpful. The diagram below shows Hemet track numbers and is from a 1985 Santa Fe CLIC book. Highgrove and San Bernardino are to the left and San Jacinto to the right.
In the photo captions that follow, references to building names from the 1933 Sanborn maps are noted as (S) and references to track numbers from the 1985 CLIC diagram are noted as (C).
