About Opener & Smart Access 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. More than 1,300 buildings from 1874 to 1940 stand inside it, in Craftsman, Mission, Spanish Revival and Classical Revival styles, and a separate local Old Towne district overlaps it.
