1906 Downtown Pinole from Summit Drive

Description

Pinole's rolling hills provided magnificent vistas of the downtown area in the early 1900s. These photos showing Quinan Street and Tennent Avenue reveal the Pinole-Hercules School #1, which opened in 1906, occupying a barren hill on the east edge of the city, the Downer Mansion, built in 190ss, in the distance on the Hercules border, and many of the buildings on Tennent that burned down in 1908. Notice the several water towers dotting the back yards. Many of the structures on Quinan Street survive today.
