Abstract
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.
