Aerial Photograph of Livermore, about 1960 or 1961, looking
west. The flagpole is at its current location (moved 3/31/1959).
The intersection of First and Livermore Ave. is very clearly seen at the bottom
of the photo a little right of center.
L Street goes left to right, crossing the railroad tracks. The SP depot is
at the lower left intersection of L St. and the left set of tracks. It is
still there, but the tracks were moved in 1976 to the area of the WP
tracks.
Railroad Ave is between the two sets of tracks. It curves across the SP
(left) tracks at about P Street.
Near the top, below where the two sets of tracks separate is where the Livermore
Firebrick factory used to be, and the Brickyard shopping center is now.
Tubbsville is between Railroad Ave and the WP tracks between M and N. Across
N street to the west is the Pioneer
Winery building (where B of A is now) with Granada Bowl west of that.
Murrieta Blvd did not exist at all at this time. It will
eventually run just east of the Arroyo Mocho.
Olivina Ave. runs vertically near the right side about 1/3 of the way from the
top. It curves into Chestnut, but continues eastward on this photo to the
WP tracks (that section is not there today).
Granada High School and Valley Memorial Hospital have not yet been built.
The building on the far bottom left is the old Asbury Methodist Church. It
was sold as the church moved to East Ave in June 1961. The building was
torn down and the site became the home of the Herald News.
