Fern Avenue in Redlands, California. It includes the 1890 Queen Anne style Fisk House, a working navel orange grove planted in 1888, and a 1911 irrigation flume.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that Beverly Ranch is one of only a couple of intact, operating citrus grove properties in Redlands dating from the city's early history. It represents a once common property type that has largely disappeared under postwar development. The house, grove, and flume together retain a high degree of integrity from the 1919 remodel.","narrative":"Beverly Ranch is a 4.76-acre citrus property on Fern Avenue in Redlands, California, centered on a two-story redwood Queen Anne house completed in 1890. Around it grows a navel orange grove first planted in 1888, now holding 364 navel trees along with a few other fruit trees. A stone, brick and concrete irrigation flume, rebuilt in 1911, runs the length of the property. The house was designed by local architect Corydon B. Bishop and built under Daniel M. Donald for John and Elizabeth Fisk. It began as a modest design and was enlarged on every side between 1900 and 1919, reflecting the family's growing prosperity. A barn from 1888 was demolished around 1961. The property matters because most Redlands groves gave way to housing after World War II, leaving very few early grove properties still intact and producing. The house, grove and flume together preserve the character of that agricultural landscape.","period_of_significance":"1890-1919","architect_builder":"Bishop, Corydon B. (Architect); Donald, Daniel M.
