Metrolink/Metro Field Trip to See ET, the Movie at the Orpheum Theater.

After establishing himself and later opening the Iriart Hotel, Iriart built this substantial brick building on the corner of G Street and Green Street, which housed a pharmacy, the Juanita Hotel and Henry’s Café.

It was a common sight to see sheep being driven by the Basque Sheepherders down Curry Street to the holding pen located on G Street, to await shipment by rail to other locations.

The Capdeville home on Curry and E Street later was used as a rooming house before becoming the Tehachapi Hospital.

This photo shows the staff of the Basco Hotel on H Street across the tracks from the Southern Pacifc Depot. To the right is the handball court. The hotel was originally the Iriart Hotel.
