Save the Historic
Sexlinger Orchard!
There was some
positive progress on the effort to save the
Historic Sexlinger Orchard by the Old Orchard
Conservancy (renamed from the Save our Orchard
Coalition) when the Santa Ana Historic Resources
Commission recommended that the City look into
alternatives to the preservation and/or purchase
of the 1913 Sexlinger farmhouse and property.
(See
article in the OC Register.)
You can also learn
more about the effort to save this last historic
family farm in Santa Ana by visiting the Old
Orchard Conservancy website at:

or visit their Facebook page at:

They would
appreciate your help and your donations!

Old Society Newsletters
Posted
It's fun to go through some of our newsletters and
see what the Society was doing during the 1980s
and 90s (and also who was preserving what home
and received various awards). We've posted
most of the issues (including our first 4) on
this site. Some files are large (6 to 11
MB in size), but they're all easily viewable as
PDF files.

This Place
Matters!
-- The Dr. Howe-Waffle House has been included in a
national online program to highlight "places that matter." The photo shows the
semi-recent
painting and roofing renovation.
