Back Door of Commerce

This is a section of commercial building wall that originally faced an alley behind “D” Street in Chino, California. This was the home of a hardware store at one time. I was attracted by the textures, colors and remnants of commerce painted on the wall.

Clifton Middle School
Nikon D7000 18-200mm ISO 320 3-bkts f/16 Lr4,TpzSim; PsCS6
When I was growing up we called them “junior high schools”, apparently the current term is “middle school”. As far as learning, there is no middle to the process, in life we should always be learning something.

Renwick House
Nikon D7000 18-200mm @ 26mm ISO 200 3- bkts f/11 Lr4, HEP2, TpzSim; PsCS6
After ten years of marriage and the death of her husband, Helen Goodwin Renwick left Iowa and brought her son to Claremont, California. Mrs. Renwick then built her house in 1900 where she raised her son and became a philanthropist to Pomona College. Mrs. Renwick died at the age of 86 in July, 1930, bequeathing her home to Pomona College. From the obituary published July 31, 1930 in the Claremont Courier I found this charming line about Mrs. Renwick:
Following a romance of unusual charm she was married to William Renwick in 1879 and together they enjoyed their home and a companionship in Davenport, Iowa for 10 years.
The Renwick House now serve as the offices of the Pomona College Annual Giving department.
