SANTA CRUZ' S ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE
The Romanesque Revival became the vogue for business buildings in the 1890's. It can be distinguished by rock-faced masonry work and the use of short, clustered columns. The Neary building, 1352 Pacific Avenue, and the old County Courthouse are examples of this style.
