Redlands
Grand architecture, opulent mansions, and the West Coast’s Lincoln Memorial
By Roger Grody
Westways March/April 2012
When the Pacific Electric Railway (the legendary “Red Car”) connected Redlands to L.A.
in 1914, it dramatically enhanced the inland town’s viability as a commercial center and
leisure destination. Today’s visitors are reminded of Redlands’ glamorous history by the
grandeur of its public buildings and the opulence of its Victorian estates. The city retains
a rich blend of culture and commerce, layered with plenty of charm.
Do
Relive Redlands’ once-lavish lifestyle at Kimberly Crest House & Gardens , a Frenchinspired hillside chateau named for the co-founder of Kimberly-Clark Corporation (think
Kleenex, Huggies). 1325 Prospect Drive. 1-909-792-2111. Step back into the 19th
century at the A.K. Smiley Public Library 2, a fine example of Moorish architecture. 125
W. Vine Street. 1-909-798-7565. Be inspired at The Lincoln Memorial Shrine 3, said to be
the only museum west of the Mississippi dedicated to our 16th president. 125 W. Vine
Street (behind the library). 1-909-798-7632.
Shop
Discover a delightful literary world at Frugal Frigate 4, a children’s bookstore ensconced
in a 19th-century carriage house downtown. 9 N. Sixth Street. 1-909-793-0740. Browse
the seasonally decorated Mozart’s Fine Gifts and Collectibles 5, stocked with both elegant
treasures and modestly priced trinkets. 244 E. Citrus Avenue. 1-909-798-2573. Reconnect
with superheroes from any era—the selection of action figures is stupendous—at Comic
Quest 6 . 5 E. Citrus Avenue, Suite 101. 1-909-798-1262.
Eat
Tuck into a tricked-out burger, like a bison patty topped with bacon-infused jalapeño jam,
at Eureka!Burger 7. 345 W. Pearl Avenue. 1-909-335-5700. Ponder a menu of 65-plus
inventive pizzas—the “Wild Mayan” is topped with peanut butter, mozzarella, red
onions, bacon, and hot sauce—at The Gourmet Pizza Shoppe 8. 120 E. State Street. 1909-792-3313. Soak up downtown’s hometown charm at The Eating Room 9, which
adjoins the sweet-smelling bakery of owners Martha Green and son, J.R. 107 E. Citrus
Avenue. 1-909-792-5400.
