Fullerton Pavilion

Fullerton was drawn on paper before the mill cut its first board. Streets ran by compass points and carried the names of company officials, with shade trees and a park planned. A 900-foot artesian well fed a steel tower holding 50,000 gallons for the mill and 10,000 for the town. The Pines, a two-story hotel with 45 rooms and a 32-by-46-foot dining room, had 70 guests in 1907. A silent movie house, a drugstore and the lodges of the Woodmen, Odd Fellows and Masons followed.
