Property Description
Here's your chance to own a piece of Riverside's History in the Colony Heights area of Redwood Dr. near Fairmount Park. This Spanish Colonial Revival named La Camarita, built by legendary builder Harry Marsh for retired druggist Philip Banks who once owned a drug store at the Historic Mission Inn and his wife Esther Rubidoux of the Rubidoux family. This outstanding Spanish Colonial architecture is a long, single story dwelling with a low gable and red tile roof representing California's historic hacienda period. The roof expands over a veranda that extends the length of the home's front with huge exposed rafters under the projected eaves and throughout the home. Tiles collected by Mr. Banks from around the world were incorporated into the wall and brickwork around the house. The garden contains his historical treasures such as an Olive Tree planted by Pioneer Juan Bandini in 1883, a Fig Tree by Spanish Land Grantee Louis Rubidoux in 1848, the first specimen of the Shamel Ash Tree imported from Mexico by Riverside horticulturist Archibald Shamel, the largest Sapote Tree in Riverside, the city's most spectacular Pindo Palm, and accompanied by many fountains and plaques throughout. Most notable is the bell copied from the original bell at Agua Mansa that's marked El Camino Real. The
