Council Rejects Liquor in Restored Depot
1 photo
for sale
The 1908 Southern Pacific train depot in Orange has been vacant for nearly 20 years. Orange City Council rejected a variance for Jeannie and Wyatt Bartling to turn the old depot into a restaurant that would serve liquor. The variance was required because the depot is 215 feet from West Orange-Stark Middle School. Superintendent O. Taylor Collins and two members of his school board protested allowing liquor to be served. The Capistrano bar, at the site for more than 60 years, can be seen in the background, across Green Avenue from the depot.
