SIGNIFICANCE
20. Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance (include
dates, events, and persons associated with the site when known):
~,b~ historic Henry Albert Building in Alta Loma was constructed in the 1920s.
T~ay, this building is one of only six commercial structures left standing
in the original business center of the city. Considered not to long ago as
ths~actual town of Alta Loma. This old town and these few buildings, almost
forgotten by time, and isolated by the progress of new development, portray
an unequivocal reflection of this area during that period of history. Thereto
fore, the Henry Albert Building is an expression of the way it was many years
ago, contributing important historical and architectural significance to the
community - sharing the past with others.
