1853
A house valued at $900 in 1825 is enlarged or replaced in 1853, when its value jumps to $6,000
City tax assessments place a house on this lot by 1825, valued at $900. In 1853 the assessed value of house and lot rose from $2,400 to $6,000, which suggests the house was enlarged or replaced that year. A four-story building at the back of the lot was already on the 1852 Perris atlas, and both buildings were probably divided into multi-family homes during the 19th century.
“Tax assessments indicate the presence of a house on this tax lot as early as 1825, valued at $900.”
