Lying peacefully in East Orange, California, alongside the Santiago Creek, the 1,269-acre Santiago Oaks Regional Park is a nature lover’s paradise. This secluded refuge offers hikers, bikers, and equestrians the natural charm of mountain vistas, an orange grove, a meandering creek, and a mature forest with many different tree species.

We visited California in April this year and will be posting images from there.

Yorba Regional Park in Anaheim is a forested paradise with fishing lakes. Feels like Yorba Linda, but actually in Anaheim. This thin, linear park is just over a mile long but offers casual biking opportunities, a riverside equestrian trail, beautiful water features, and amenities galore.

S. H. Kress & Co. was an iconic American “five-and-dime” retail chain founded by Samuel Henry Kress in 1896. Renowned for their ornate Art Deco architecture, over 200 Kress stores transformed Main Street America. This one is in Durham.

We end the series of images of architecture, from Gothic, Modern, and Art Deco in Durham, North Carolina.

The Hill Building in downtown Durham, North Carolina, is a premier example of 1930s Art Deco architecture. Completed in 1937 for banker John Sprunt Hill, it served as a defining commercial skyscraper for the city and now operates as the 21c Museum Hotel Durham.

Durham Hotel Modern Architecture

The Durham Hotel is anything but typical. Its modern geometric siding and angled tower have kept the mid century style alive in Durham. Built in 1968, this gem of mid-century modern architecture, with its mid-century facade and its distinct gold accents, remains.

Durham City Hall

Moving away from Gothic architecture at Duke University, we saw Durham City Hall. A complete exterior and interior renovation was needed for Durham City Hall, which opened in 1975. To require minimal maintenance, soften the building’s feel, and give the structure a strong presence, metal wall panels were selected.
