Document Description
The City of Chowchilla proposes to disassemble a potentially elligible historic building in the City's Downtown and store the materials for eventual reconstruction at the existing or an alternative location in the Downtown. The City has determined that the building is unsafe and should be taken down. The Chowchilla Heritage Welcome Center Project is designed to restore the Dodge Brothers garage (one of the oldest buildings in Chowchilla) to be used as a "Welcome Center" and potentially house the Chowchilla Chamber of Commerce office. The Welcome Center concept is to provide a location where the history of Chowchilla can be visualized from old photographs, exhibits, and written materials. If the alternative location is selected for the placement of the reconstructed Chowchilla Heritage Welcome Center, it may be possible to add other potentially historic buildings to this location. That concept of an expanded historic park will be the subject to a subsequent EIR. In either of the alternative location concepts, the Heritage Park wold remain on the corner of Front Street and Robertson Boulevard.
