Opened in 1933 by Golda Lester, this was the original location of Oceanside Hospital.  The arch over the driveway on the left was the ambulance entrance.  In 1938 a new building was constructed at 1100 Fifth Street.  The original building is in the middle of a residential block and is presently divided into multiple residences.  The exterior stairs on the left are a later addition.

Trenton Apartments - Escondido, CA, USA

Escondido's first apartment building built in 1912 for Peter Schnack, an early Escondido photographer who came from Trenton, NJ.  Prior to World War I it was called the Schnack Apartments, but due to the anti-German sentiment of the time the name was changed.


Each of the apartments face a center court which was originally planted with semi-tropical plants.


Located at 204 E. 2nd St. on the NE corner of Kalmia and 2nd.
