Earlier in the day, we went to Santa Rosa, tracking down another 1930s postcard, of the county court house.\u00a0 To make a long story short, we could not find the building. After googling it on the net, we found that it was demolished in the sixties because it was considered “seismically unsafe”.\u00a0 There was a commerative\u00a0plaque, and P.J. took a picture of it as well as the park that replaced it.<\/p>\n
