An Evolving Historical Record

Welcome to the "Research Monrovia Structures" web site and greetings from Monrovia, California. 

This is a work-in-progress research/database for history buffs, especially preservationists who may be interested in the architecture and early history of Monrovia, a typical citrus-based Southern California community of the late 19th century.

The site is temporarily under construction, and will be restored shortly.
