The Square

The Clock
The clock was mounted on a building that offered information, tours, and gifts. That building was in the middle of the square, directly opposite the water tower.

Roses
The entire square was laid out like a mid-1800s garden. Roses and other flowers were everywhere. All the bushes and trees were neatly pruned and smartly sculpted.

Pfeiler Ranch Water Tower
Built 1877, this water tower was originally located on the Pfeiler Ranch property. Only the vertical slats of the 3,000 gallon tank were part of the original structure. It now stands in the center of Heritage Square.

Parking Lots
Parking lots wrapped around the 8th Street end of Heritage Square. Because the square was surrounded on three sides with diagonal street parking, and because internal parking consumed at least a quarter of the square, there was parking for over 100 cars.
