The area south of Railroad Avenue to Modoc Street was a housing development of the Lassen Lumber & Box Company for its employees.  The above photograph I received from someone back East who found the photograph in a book at a garage sale. One never knows where a piece of history will show up.

It should be noted that the Lassen Lumber & Box Company designated this particular area as its “Italian Quarters.” Both Lassen Lumber & Fruit Growers Supply Company hired numerous immigrants, at one time there was a large Filipino population.
