There are all kinds of old acquaintances both human and non- human. For example some friends had gathered together senior friends began discussing former Red Bluff Land marks that existed in this small city over the years. One after another of these land mark acquaintances were men- tioned. The Train Station was once located on Walnut St. next to where the tire shop now stands, The Cone Kimball building, which housed Zuckweilers’s Dept. Store is no more. The once" marbled interior" of the U.S. Post Office building on the South Side of Walnut St. and the Tremont Hotel on Main Street are no longer the same as they were long ago. The Hill Apartments once locat- ed on Jefferson St. across from the West side of the Red Bluff Post Office. The Red Bluff Flower Shop located on the North side of Walnut Street across from Tip’s Bar. If much of this sounds foreign to your ear, you can imagine the shock of the under fifty years of age friends who were listening to our stories of times past. One young woman finally interjected that she hadn’t a clue to the Red Bluff we were talking about. It was her state- ment that drew my thoughts to the land mark history of our communi- ty that has become lost due to the trampling feet of progress. Just as there are old friends that may be out of sight, they are not out of mind, and they have made an impact upon us. Residents who have lived in Tehama County a long time were connected to land marks such as the Tremont Hotel. The Tremont Hotel was located at 737 Main Street right next to Zuckweil- er’s Dept. Store located in the Cone-Kimball building. These his- toric buildings were built in 1886. The Tremont Hotel hosted weary travelers and local residents as well. The KBLF radio station was located in one of the street level offices. There was a shoe shine cove and a uniformed Bell Hop to assist visitors and locals in the lobby area of the hotel. The Chamber of Com- merce was also located in the hotel until it moved to 100 Main Street in about 1965. As a child I recall walking downtown with friends and just out of curiosity going into the Tremont to stare at the seemingly big city atmosphere in the 90 room hotel. where most of the town’s children stopped to get a drink at when walking down Main Street. My mother forbad my brother and me to drink from public fountains in fear that we would con- tact polio so we simply watched as pals took a sip from the ornate foun- tain. Carolyn Barber As a teen-ager I went to my first prom dinner at the Tremont Hotel Dining Room. What an experience, my date ordered the food and since I was shy I didn’t ask what it was but ate it and it was good. My moth- er later asked what I had to eat and I told her it was little roasts with bacon wrapped around them. She looked at me quizzically but did not say a word. I will always wonder if she knew those little roasts were "filet mignon" as I later learned the real name of the delicacy. At any rate, this old land mark remains a memory friend even after its demise and replacement by Peter Lassen Square. The Cone-Kimball Building hosted a clock on a spire which sounded its time throughout the town. There was also a fire alarm siren that was used to summon Red Bluff Fire Department Volunteers way before there were digital radios now used for communication. On the corner stood the Stice Fountain It was a sad and ironic day when the Cone-Kim- ball Building expired due to a horrific fire. The building housed Zuck- weiler’s Department Store where stately clerks stood behind small oak tables which held old fashioned cash registers. These clerks were well trained by Elmer Zuck- weiler in the responsibilities of their jobs. My mother knew that I could safely go into Zuck’s with my money earned from baby-sitting. I would be guided in making good selections by these stalwart, dedi- cated clerks. When I had children I too was confident of the same treat- ment. I knew that the shoe depart- ment clerk would not let my chil- dren purchase some outlandish shoes with their limited coffers. Yes, Zuckweiler’s and the Cone- Kimball building also qualify as memory friends. Reminiscing is usually fun, as people exchange their past experi- ences with others. What better time than on the last Saturday of the first month of the new year as we prepare ourselves for more change? Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992.
