About Maintenance & Upgrades in Old Towne Orange
Old Towne Orange is the largest National Register historic district in California, listed in 1997, around Plaza Park. The city treats historic garages as resources in their own right, so repair and faithful restoration come first and door changes go through design review.
The Old Towne, Orange Historic District was listed on the National Register on 11 July 1997 and is the largest National Register district in California, about one square mile around Plaza Park, known locally as The Circle, crossed by Chapman Avenue and Glassell Street.

“We called from Old Towne Orange at 15:14 because the photo-eye wire was cut by a trimmer, and the door reversed every close. Old Towne Orange historic bungalows that want carriage-house faces. They spliced the photo-eye wire, remounted the eyes, and proved every close before leaving Old Towne Orange. Cars moved again.”
“Olive's mid-century houses with one-car openings. Then Santa Ana dust packed the nylon races at 17:36, and the door squealed under the bedroom. They packed new nylon rollers, cleaned the races, and the squeal under the bedroom stopped on this Olive visit. Quiet after ten.”
