Eureka, An Architectural View
published by the Eureka Heritage Society
This volume is a visual history of Eureka, published by the Eureka Heritage Society. The book contains more than 150 photos of buildings and architectural details. There are capsule biographies of some of the people important to Eureka's development along with maps, facts, glossary and index. This book captures the economic, social and historical forces that shaped Eureka's unique architectural personality.
The publication brings to maturity work that began as an architectural/historical survey in 1973. This detailed research was completed by volunteers and evaluated by a team of professionals. The book is often a first-stop for homeowners researching the history of their domicile.
