What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Garden Grove
Mass tract building in the 1950s and 1960s likely gave these homes site-built brick, while later houses shifted to factory-built units. Reports begin with a straight answer on which one a homeowner has, since the two fail in very different ways. Few homes here were standing in 1933, so masonry has a shorter shaking history than in older towns. Mornings bring marine layer about eight miles inland, and winter rain is what tends to find a tired crown.
