HISTORIC CALIFORNIA RAILROAD STATIONS: EVALUATION AND TREATMENT GUIDELINES FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
(University of Oregon, 1996-06) Catlin, Janice A.
Historic Railroad Stations of California today exist in many diverse situations: from those which have become revitalized and integral parts of the community to those which have been ignored and left to ruin. These landmarks have played a major role in the history of California, but many are now vulnerable due to various forces in a changing society. It is the intention of this thesis to act as a guide in understanding the railroad station and what can be done to help revitalize it in the interest of historic preservation. The document first identifies the railroad stations in the context of history and architecture, and second offers guidelines for treatment and planning for the future of these stations. It is hoped that this thesis will establish a foundation upon which California railroad stations will be noticed, appreciated , and planned for in a way that ensures their continuation as an important part of the community.
