I have addressed this unique property on the west end of Susanville’s Main Street, just below the Elk’s Lodge. While reviewing the Lassen Advocate of May 22, 1914, I came across this tidbit:

“J.A. Adams is circulating a petition for making of what he calls a ‘park’ at the head of Main Street in front of the J. Henry Swain’s residence, where the wagon-ways branch to north and west. A bit of landscape gardening in the triangle at that point might prove to be attractive, but those who remember the old bandstand abuses of twenty or more years ago, will doubt the merit of the proposal, as the town  can not afford to hire  a caretaker at present.”
