"On the night of March 3, 1880 six masked bandits accosted eight to ten persons at gunpoint and tied them up while robbing them, including a Mrs. Marian Crowder of Crowder's Store, then located at the Northeast corner of the Plaza in Orange (where Citizen's Business Bank is today). The bandits made off with valuables and $276.15 in cash, and warned Mrs. Crowder to wait 15 minutes before untying the prisoners, to allow an escape. Some of the bandits were later imprisoned at San Quentin." OLD TOWNE ORANGE RESIDENTS WILL NOW BE NOTIFIED BEFORE MEETINGS ON MAJOR NEIGHBORHOOD ADDITIONS2/24/2018
OTPA worked closely with the City’s Community Development staff on updating the Historic Preservation Design Standards, the first update in decades. The Design Standards spell out for residents, businesses and developers what can and cannot be done when rehabilitating or preserving an historic Old Towne structure. OTPA thanks City’s Historic Planner Marissa Moshier for leading the project and inviting OTPA’s input.
