A Moment in Monrovia History: An early view along Banana Avenue

The view from Encinitas along Banana Avenue (now Hillcrest) looking west, from the early days of Monrovia. The home in the foreground is 115 E. Hillcrest and still exists. Banana Avenue was originally named to entice settlers looking for a tropical climate. From the Ella Long collection. See full details here.
