Richmond Road, 1912

This is one of those interesting Ebay finds, that I could not resist. With the railroad quickly approaching Susanville to its south, major improvements were made to Richmond Road. To the left, the Lassen Townsite began development of its huge subdivision, starting with the construction of Riverside Drive. If you examine just beyond the intersection of Richmond and Riverside, one can see some disturbed ground. That was the original location of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, which was moved in 1909 to Nevada and South Union Street.
