Description
From the Redlands history page: “Built during the WPA depression days, the building has been designated as the future location of the Redlands Historical Museum. Replacing the original Richardsonian masterpiece that mysteriously burned in 1939, this civic style building with classic elements and artnouveau bas reliefs, contains multiple styles, as if it was built by committee…it was!”
This building now serves as the Administrative Offices for the Redlands Police Department. The new city hall is located directly across the street.
