As a local media publisher with a limited number of addresses to send a publication, publishing in a small town is not without its challenges. When longtime Winters publisher Newt Wallace arrived so many years ago, the cities of Woodland, Davis and Winters were all about the same size. Watching these communities grow around him, it’s no wonder why he was hopeful, in 1957, when putting the freshlypoured Monticello dam on the paper’s masthead along with a new slogan: he pictured not just a “gateway” to Lake Berryessa in Winters, but also a home for its future boat sales, rentals, washes, etc. Instead, what we got was the gas stations and a mighty fine bait shop. But the economic boon that is the dam keeps water covering Berryessa Valley and cars coming down Grant, which keeps us all afloat. In recent years, however, I have contemplated changing the nameplate. As far as beauty, economic benefit, relevance and historical significance, I think an almond tree would be a suitable replacement.

Along with this new logo, I have toyed around with “More trees than people” in place of the “gateway” slogan. I ran some napkin math by my friend at the bank, an ag lender who knows his trees per acre, and he says it’s legit, presuming one means the Greater Winters area. That’s good enough for me. So welcome to Winters, where there are more trees than people and you have to convince someone to move out in order to move in!

That’s why Lynda Hinds and Lori Vidales have taken this hometown passion a step further and created Yolo 365 Tours so the rest of the world can love Winters as much as locals do. This dynamic duo has years of experience working in Winters with their common thread being in hospitality. Both are used to directing visitors and giving them insight of what to see and do throughout town. So, after years of ‘talking the talk,’ these business owners decided to ‘walk the walk’ and created Yolo 365 Tours. “In a nutshell, we talked about tours and how we loved them. So, we just decided this is the right time after COVID... being able to curate something where people can walk in and experience Winters,” Hinds said explaining the business’ humble genesis. “Not in just one spot, either.

It’s 45 minutes at each stop and we don’t give the entire outline of the tour because we try to include some hidden gems,” said Hinds. “Like we might land on the rooftop and have a tasting, or go into the hotel and get gelato, or a porch and do a pop-up tasting there. We give you at least five stops with multiple tastings and curate the tour based off your preferences. We try to be very hands-on with that, asking if it’s a bridal shower, a birthday party or a guys’ weekend like we did with Joe the Butcher and his old Boy Scout friends. Then we curate the experience based off that and make sure all the details are tucked and tied.” Yolo 365 Tours isn’t some one-trick-pony either. It suits multiple audiences, has different themes and the dynamic duo is also contemplating seasonal themes as well. “There are themes online and soon we’ll be posting our farm theme, too. We’re also coming with ideas for seasonal tours and holidays,” Vidales explained. “We’re thinking of having something around Christmas time and do an evening tour. We want to do pontoon tours, we’ve also talked about doing a Valentine’s Day tour on the creek. So, we’re coming up with seasonal ideas as well.” Since opening in early 2022, Yolo 365 Tours has yet to have a group not make purchases at the various stops. As if the town doesn’t sell itself well enough, both Vidales and Hinds are the tour guides and are passionate about facilitating good times for whoever hops on board their golf carts.“What’s nice about the tours is if you do want to celebrate something, it takes four hours, and it’s a busy four hours. That’s a whole day experience you can have with your friends, family or anybody coming into town and you’re looking for something to do,” said Vidales. “It’s easy to just have us curate that tour for you and fill that day, and that’s what’s great about them. We do it all for you, you hop on the cart and we just shuttle you around.”

Wolfskill was an agricultural pioneer and visionary: a horticulturalist who urged his brother to petition for the area based on its presumed fecundity.

The GrantWolfskill

In 1842, John Reid Wolfskill became the first American settler in Solano County, after his brother William – a naturalized Mexican-American by marriage –petitioned Governor Juan Batista de Alvarado and received Rancho Rio de los Putos, 17,754 acres of land straddling Putah Creek in Solano and Yolo counties. 10,750 acres were located in what became Solano County and 7,004 acres in Yolo County.

The last native population to occupy villages around Putah Creek were the Southern Wintun, or Patwin. There were Patwin tribal units at Liwaito, near Downtown Winters on the south side of the stream, at Putato, located in the Berryessa Valley now under Lake Berryessa, and Ululato, now Downtown Vacaville. In 1821, a Spanish expedition estimated the population at Liwaito to be 400, fewer than the estimated 900 people at Chila on Cache Creek and the thousandplus Patwin at Yoloy, near KnightsAlongsideLanding.aburst in mosquito activity attributed to a previous year’s flood, in 1832, a group of 250 Hudson Bay Company fur trappers and companions, travelled past Putah Creek through Cache Creek and noted a malaria epidemic that decimated the native population of Yolo County. There is evidence of a fast population decline among local Patwin and by 1852, census reports suggest only about 200 Southern Patwin survived in the entire county. By 1835, Hispanic settlers effectively overtook the region surrounding Winters and, under the command of Sem-Yeto –also known as “Chief” Solano, a Patwin leader of the Suisunes, later baptized as Francisco Solano at Mission Solano –allied with General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo of Sonoma and consolidated control of the area under Mexican rule. On the 1821 expedition, Spanish visitors dubbed Putah Creek the “River San Pedro.” Eight years later, the Hudson’s Bay Company’s chief fur trapper would sub it “D’Epatis,” after a brigade member. Frenchman Duflot de Mofras called it “Young’s River” in 1844, after the first English speaking explorer to visit the area. But when California inked the boundaries of its 27 counties in 1850, it was “Puto Creek” that officially designated the boundary between Yolo and Solano counties. Today it’s “Putah.”

The Namesake In 1865, Theodore Winters bought 1,300 acres from John Wolfskill brother Malthus, who had moved to California to join his three Wolfskill brethren. Theo, the Winters’ namesake, lived near Carson City, Nevada but had a home on the south side of the creek and raised race horses in the Greater Winters area, where his stables and practice tracks were proximate to the tracks in Sacramento and Bay Area. From Winters, the businessman helped to introduce horse racing to the west: Winters’ most famous horse was Emperor of Norfolk, an undefeated horse dubbed the “California Wonder.” His sire, Norfolk, arrived in Winters from Kentucky via the Panama Canal in 1865. Winters purchased Norfolk for $15,001, upwards of $400,000 in today’s dollars, and also owned California’s best mare, Marian, who, with Norfolk, provided Winters, the town and the man, numerous racing stars to showcase at the hometown racetrack.

The Town of Buckeye During the Spanish settlement period in Northern California, American squatters were commonplace on the ranchos. By 1855, a town thrived at Buckeye, just a few miles northeast from Winters. Named after Buckeye Creek, a nearby dry creek abound with California Buckeye (Aesculus californica), the town – which by 1870 had grown to include a post office, Masonic hall and Church – was, eventually, economically upended by the Vaca Valley Railroad’s establishment of a railroad in nearby Winters. The rise of Winters relegated Buckeye to ghost town status. Today there is only a single building that remains from the original town of Buckeye, and only in part. The building is located near what was formerly the center of town, where Buckeye Road dead ends into Road 29A.

BACK IN THE DAY today a popular juicing orange. John, who would be later joined in the area by three other Wolfskill brothers, but not William, arrived “laden with fruit seeds and cuttings” such as olives, near the spot on Putah Creek Road now historically placemarked at the UC Davis Experimental Farm. Wolfskill told a historian that he spent his first night in the area “in a big tree, with bears, panthers and other friendly carnivores prowling and howling around his bedroom roosting place.”

Bankers organized the Bank of Winters in 1885 to finance the region’s continued transition to the fruit industry. By the 1890s, the region earned its moniker as the “Winters Fruit Belt” and The Winters Dried Fruit Company launched in 1897 and – amid a four-year drought that started the year prior and would cut production by over one-half within the year – moved nearly a million pounds of sun-dried produce in its first 12 months. A cannery would open in 1905.

BACK IN THE DAY The Railroad In 1875, Winters joined D.P. Edwards, another influential local businessperson, in providing 40 acres of land to build a railroad crossing and start a town at its terminus. For Theodore Winters, moving around his horses would soon get easier: the railroad thrived and the town boomed across the creek from his home.

The Opera House (11 Main) and Chulick Building (15 Main) opened in 1876 with a ground floor grocer and general merchandise store, respectively. In 1888, businesses on the south side of Main Street burned and the town soon bounced back. In 1889, the Cradwick Building (17 Main), Bertholet Building (26 Main) and Humphrey Building (30 Main) all opened. Also in 1889, John De Vilbiss, a pioneer in the local fruit industry, built the Hotel De Vilbiss (2 Main), launching the town’s third hotel. (The other was the Acme Hotel. The Occidental Hotel burned down in 1891.)

The architect who built the church at First and Main St. in 1913 later built the town’s City Hall building on the same block three years later. These buildings all have Classical Revival influences – with the exception of the Colonial Chapel which, although substantially remodeled, exhibits Eastlake design elements in its parapet and cornice. ■

The town’s sixteen pioneers include last names still familiar thanks to street names, such as Abbey, Ireland and Edwards. The founders named the town Winters, after the capitalist, but considered naming it Norfolk, after his famous stallion. (Edwards had previously, and modestly, declined the namesake opportunity.) Winters became Yolo’s second city, with Yolo City having incorporated as Woodland in 1871 — a process not without opposition. Within months of becoming a city, however, citizen volunteers organized a fire department and were on the way to raising bonds for city services such as water and sewers. The train to Winters ran from Elmira three times daily, along Winters Road on its way into town. That year, in 1875, the Buckeye post office closed, and, later that year, the U.S. Postal Service established a post office at the bottom of Seaman’s Opera House on Main St. A reported 57 buildings of various kinds stood by then in Winters, with “30 or 40 more” projected to be built soon thereafter. John Wolfskill planted the first apricots in 1851, later adding peaches and grapes. By the time the railroad would launch, the region had already grown to specialize in stone fruit such as plums, almonds and cherries, producing other fruits and nuts as well, such as oranges, walnuts, pomegranate and kiwi.

The town suffered other early setbacks, including an earthquake in 1892, and its aftermath, which damaged much of the downtown and set back the burgeoning burg. After the rebuilding, new buildings eventually joined downtown Winters, including the Morrison Building (35 Main) and Masonic Building (47 Main) in 1897.The City of Winters first discussed incorporation at the Opera House in 1896 and finally incorporated two years later. In 1901, it issued its first water works bonds and in 1911 financed a complete sewer system. The grammar school moved from Pine Grove in 1875 and, in 1892, turned into Winters HighTheSchool.nextwave of downtown building came roughly ten years later in the early 1900s, when Smith’s Colonial Chapel (1907), Winters National Bank (1907), Baker Co. Store (1908) and the First Northern Bank of Dixon (1912) buildings all opened. The Citizens’ Bank, the second bank in town, went up in 1907.

The Town As Winters grew the fruit industry, the fruit industry grew Winters. Development of the now-historic Downtown Winters fell into three main phases and continued well-after the railroad continued onto its new terminus in Madison.

The other major crossing across Putah Creek at the time was Stevenson Bridge, pictured above, nine miles to the south. The Stevensons owned the Vaca Valley Railroad Company, which incorporated in 1869 shortly before they arrived to California. The brothers Stevenson pledged $30,000 to kickstart the process of extending the railroad from Elmira to Winters.

It typically furnishes Route 220C, the Winters/ Davis Commute bus, which YoloBus “temporarily discontinued” in April 2020 and has yet to restore. Route 220C usually provides one morning, one mid-day and one afternoon round trips, Monday through Saturday, between Davis, Winters, and Vacaville. It also typically provides one morning and one afternoon trip, Monday through Friday, between Winters and UCYoloBusDavis. encourages residents to take advantage of its YOUR Ride microtransit service, which offers a seven-passenger, on-demand point-to-point transportation service within Winters (including El Rio Villa) and to and from the cities of Davis and Vacaville. Microtransit services are available Monday through Saturday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Riders must register in advance and can receive training by calling (530) 402-2891. YoloBus hosts an informational website at https://yolobus.com/yourride/.

BIKETRANSPORTATIONTRAVEL

Although there are no airports in Winters, the town is still famous for its airspace: Winters often features hot air balloons as part of its skyscape – it’s the low-fog and calm skies that beckon ballooning companies from nearby Dixon and Napa.Nut Tree Airport in Vacaville and University Airport at UC Davis are each 13 miles away by crow, and Yolo County Airport is 9 miles away. Yolo County Airport plays host to a local skydiving scene. Occasionally, flights to Travis Air Force base will bring over town nearby C-5 Galaxies, KC-10 Extenders, and C-17 Globemaster III flybirds.

The Pratt Truss Railroad Bridge in place today replaced the original wagon and train bridge in 1906.And there’s another bridge in addition to the old railroad bridge at Wolfskill’s Ford: when a concrete bridge called the Winters Road Bridge first spanned that spot Putah Creek in 1908, the three-span bridge was the longest of its kind west of the Mississippi River, built with 70 tons of steel. It was replaced in 2013 with a similar-looking bridge after creek wear exposed its timber pilings.

Winters is paradoxically both a great place to bike to and, simultaneously, a sometimesunwelcoming place at which to bike. The dam, Russell Blvd. and Putah Creek Road are all meccas for Yolo bikers; Pleasants Valley road brings countless road bikers in from Solano. Yet Winters itself has few obvious trails designed with bikers in mind and crossing Grant Ave. on bike is a pain and limited to certain crosspoints. Yet, with relatively few people and low urban density, city streets are well-maintained and easy to manage on a bike.

The Old Sonoma Road from Knights Landing to Wolfskill’s Ford on Putah Creek, where Winters stands today, was designated an official Yolo County road in 1853. (From there, the road led to Sutter’s Fort – interestingly, a route taken in reverse by the drunken rebels who started the Bear Flag revolt in 1846, declaring California independent from Mexican control.)

torytelling has been the oldest form of a history lesson for centuries. From mythologies of indigenous peoples to your Grandma’s stories, history — from the beginning of life to the beginning roots of a family — are passed down from generation to generation.

There’s tragedy when those stories are shuttered and lost due to memory loss, natural disaster, or the death of a community elder. Museums play a role in helping to tell the stories and lives of cities, cultures and more. More and more communities are beginning to realize the importance of preserving their local roots in a tangible way.

Historical group roots

In the early 1980s, the Winters Historical Landmark Advisory Committee, originally a City Council appointed ad hoc committee, began researching and documenting historic homes and landmarks as part of a comprehensive Historical and Architectural Inventory of city resources. In June 1983, the City of Winters

The concept of the Winters Museum was built up over decades through research and dreams of community members to preserve the history of the town.

Historical and Architectural Resource Inventory and Report was published. Through the work of a firm hired by the City of Winters, the committee and community volunteers, they were able to identify and document historic structures in Winters that were built in the early 1900s, from the town’s early years.Historical Society of Winters founders Woody Fridae and Gloria Lopez noted that a lot of extensive

■ HISTORICAL

Fridae and Lopez noted that other efforts join theirs in helping to preserve Winters history, noting the Winters History Mural projects sponsored by the Winters Participation Gallery. The student muralists access the Historical Society’s research to help them plan out what to feature in the mural designs. As more items are donated, and more exhibits researched, the museum continues to grow. While there are rotating exhibit themes, parts of the museum exhibit are permanent. Lopez said the spin-off history project opportunities have come from the exhibits.

Opening doors to history

Since then the museum has featured exhibits on local agriculture, local veterans, Youth Day, the lost Japanese community and the town of Monticello. The next exhibit will focus on the rich history of sports and notable Winters athletes.

The Historical Society of Winters officially opened the doors of the Winters Museum on Nov. 30, 2018. Its first exhibit gave an inside look of the inner workings of the oldest business in town, The Winters Express (founded in 1884) and the years it was run by the Wallace family.

“A Taste of Northern California History –Heritage of Northern California Horticulture” was a progressive tour down Main Street, featuring a selection of photos and historic artifacts from Larkey’s book “Winters: A Heritage of Horticulture – A Harmony of Purpose.” Lopez said the Winters History Project volunteers put on the Winters Agricultural Symposium: Farming Through the Generations on May 4, 2011 in the Winters Opera House. The group hosted local outdoor tours of UCD’s Wolfskill Experimental Orchards and featured a speaker luncheon. The Symposium highlighted local and notable panelists at the Opera House before an evening of self guided tours of historic photo exhibits on display through downtown Winters.“Theidea was to make history available to people in Winters. To preserve it and to develop a context of where we’re at now,” Fridae said. According to Fridae, the group hit a pivotal point in their endeavors when the group visited the museum in Williams. While viewing the exhibits in the museum, the historical group members commented how family members used to have some of the items on display, but they were sold or given“Weaway.realized at that moment that if we didn’t have at least some kind of museum that would be the way things happened, they’d evaporate and we wouldn’t have them anymore,” Fridae said.

“It’s a combination of skills and dedication. It’s all pieces of the puzzle. It’s a great community endeavor,” Lopez said of the collaborative efforts to preserve Winters’ history throughout the years.

Lopez said the experience planted the seed, and off they Accordingwent.to Lopez, they hosted a presentation on Winters’ history out at Park Winters. She said they expected 25 people, and over 100 people showed up. From there, community members began to reach out asking if they wanted some of the historical items from their homes.

Lopez said the nonprofit’s long-range goal is to find a larger space for the museum because they have begun to outgrow the space.

Community members are able to volunteer as docents doing two hours shifts during the museum’s public hours. And, one does not need to be a local history buff in order to serve as a docent.

“Not one of us was a history major. We stumbled on this and decided we should do this,” Fridae said. “It’s a great way to get to know some history about Winters.”

38 ♥ WELCOME TO WINTERS 2022 research was done by Joann Larkey and Betty Coman on the project. Bringing life to the dream Lopez joined the cause to preserve Winters’ history in 2009. The group developed what Lopez called “a museum without walls.”

Lake Berryessa

Grab a date and head down to Main Street for what was once voted as a top-10 small town food scene in America. Warm twinkle lighting and a welcoming vibe make sure that a night on the town is well-spent. Park in the public lot near Rotary Park. While you’re there, walk the downtown and take in the architecture (see page 58).

SPLASHING AROUND WITH THE FAMILY IN LAKE BERRYESSA

As the dog days of summer drag on, locals in search of a reprieve may find one at beautiful Lake Berryessa, just a short ride from Winters down State Scenic Route 128. More local than other optionsget-awaysuchas Lake Tahoe, but no less endearing, Berryessa offers 165 miles of oak-lined shoreline, water temperatures that hover around 75 degrees during the summer, and a number of resort options.

CLEAN, SAFE, FUN ON A DATE IN DOWNTOWN WINTERS A RETURN TO NATURE WITH SOLO TIME AT PUTAH CREEK

Drive or walk to the south side of the creek and enjoy the third phase of the Putah Creek Nature Park. Grab some alone time, put your feet in the water, walk the trails or find a rope swing. The babbling water is, consistently, very cold and makes for welcome relief on one of Winters’ hotter days.

FISHING PUTAH CREEK

HIKING LAKE BERRYESSA

Known by locals to be a great place to catch a beautiful riparian landscape. Known by regional fly fishers as one of the best places to fly fish in all of California, and the best option near the Bay Area. There are numerous local fishing guides and caution is advised: “strainers” and other dangers have claimed lives. Local regulations require barbless hooks, artificial flies and catch-and-release between Lake Solano and Monticello Dam, and prohibit fishing below Lake Solano.

The UC Davis Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve, set in a steep canyon of the Northern California Coast Range, showcases the impressive landscapes and animal communities of the region. The reserve has a mix of undisturbed habitats, including grasslands, blue oak woodland, chaparral shrublands, riparian woodland and a seasonal stream. The reserve is open year-round to hikers, from sunrise to sunset. Operators request an entrance donation of $2 per visitor.

48 ♥ WELCOME TO WINTERS 2022 F or many, Highway 128 is a stunning stretch of highway throughout Northern California. For Berryessa Gap Vineyards co-owner Corinne Martinez, it’s an ideal wine route that starts at Berryessa Gap Vineyards in Winters and ends on the breezy, coastal area of Mendocino.

“What we have today is this ‘day pass’ to Chiles Valley, so we’re partnering with Green and Red Winery, Maxville and soon to be adding Nichelini. With this day pass, people can go up from Winters, taste some wine there, then come back to Winters and, of course, taste some wine here,” Martinez explained. “The next phase that we’re working on goes all the way to the town of MartinezRutherford.”said she’s talked to a number of different wineries along Hwy. 128 who are interested in participating and being included on the map. In total, 16 wineries have been identified on (or just off) Hwy. 128 between Winters and Rutherford.

Well over 100 miles long, Hwy. 128 snakes through a number of microclimates, valleys, hills and small towns like Winters. Each are filled with hole-in-the-wall shops, boutiques, restaurants and proud locals eager to share what makes their hometown great. Of course, it’s the wide range of incredible wineries along the way that plot the dots on the map that Martinez wants to connect.

“That’s the base of the Highway 128 Collection. It’s to say, ‘We have a connection to Highway 128, not just because we sit in Winters and is the beginning of it, but we have a connection because these are our customers and we’re their customers and we’re making some good wine from fruit they grew, but from roots they bought from us. That’s the uniqueness of Berryessa Gap doing this and having three identified winery partners in different counties,” Martinez said.From the Highway 128 Collection to the wine road tour to Mendocino, there’s a lot to be excited about on the horizon. To stay up-to-date with Berryessa Gap Vineyards, its wine collections and to view the wine route information, visit www. berryessagap.com. ■

Berryessa Gap Vineyards

Seven wineries (in order on the route) who have agreed to participate in the Highway 128 Canyon/Lake Route include: Berryessa Gap Vineyards, MS Torun, Green & Red, Nicholini, Dakota Shy, Conn Creek and Frog’s Leap. “So, we’re building this new map for people that starts in Winters and it’ll show all the different places you can stop and taste wine. You’ll pass Lake Berryessa and Lake Hennessy on what we call the ‘Lake Route’ on your way to Rutherford,” Martinez said. The route includes “iconic wines stops” on Hwy. 128 that mark each county from east to west including: Yolo, Napa, Solano and Mendocino. Each of the wineries designated as an iconic wine stop features an iconic wine varietal. The final phase of this enterprise is making it to the very end of Hwy. 128 at Lula Cellars in Anderson Valley. With Lula Cellar’s participation already secured, Martinez is a cork pop away from also securing their final participating winery in Rutherford. As one can imagine, this tour can’t be completed in one day. That’s why Martinez and company are also working on partnerships with hotel properties along the way. Alongside that, this daisy-chain of small towns, wineries and fun will feature a careful curation of experiences worth having along the way. “The wine route has been written about before, and people have talked about it, but what we’re trying to do here is find places that are representative of each region with an iconic wine from there,” said Martinez. “I don’t think a lot of people think about doing it because it’s such a long route that takes multiple days. From that perspective, that’s what we — and I say ‘we’ because there’s a group of us in Winters like Chris Turkovich, us and others — have been talking about how to get people to start in Winters and head east down 128. That ideas been floating around for a long time, but the official itinerary is a new thing.” Beyond that expansive tour on Hwy. 128 is a project that brings a lot of tastes from along 128 to the Berryessa Gap tasting room. While over 90 percent of wines at Berryessa Gap are made from grapes grown at their own estate, they’ve gone out to other regions to collect grapes grown from their renowned Martinez root“Forstock.this Highway 128 collection project, we specifically went to growers outside of our region in Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, to purchase fruit from them so we can make the kind of wine you’d typically find there,” explained Martinez. “So, we’re purchasing Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from one of Martinez Orchard’s customers. Somebody who bought root stock from Martinez Orchards and went and planted those grapes. That’s that closed loop for us is that we’re saying, ‘Hey you bought root stock from us and you’re a premium grower in Napa. We’d like to buy some of your fruit and make a small amount of Cabernet in our winery from your fruit.’ We did the same thing with a grower in Sonoma to buy some Chardonnay and with a grower in Mendocino to buy some Pinot Noir.” Berryessa Gap’s newest wine collection showcases connections along Highway 128, and celebrates those wineries.

Cradwick, an English native, settled in Winters in 1875 to farm. He later launched a brick-making operation and produced many of the bricks used in residential and commercial construction in Winters. In 1892, during the Earthquake, the sole death was recorded at the Cradwick Building. The man, Winters resident Wick Darby, fell from the open second story and suffered a crushed skull. There is an urban legend that he died while relieving himself behind the building.

SEAMAN’S OPERA HOUSE (1876): 11 MAIN STREET

The ground floor of the two-story, Italianate Opera House building was originally occupied by the C.D. Ireland Grocery Store, later Campbell’s, and a general merchandise store acquired by Jonas Rumelsburg, who moved from the Mason Building. In 1919, Jack and Gregory Vasey bought Rumelsburg’s and later acquired the building, too, operating there until 1981.

CHULICK MARKET (1876): 15 MAIN STREET

BANK OF WINTERS BUS. BLOCK (1904): 3–7 MAIN STREET

THIRTY-MINUTEHISTORYWALKINGTOUR

The Bank of Winters launched in 1885. A Queen Ann-styled two-story brick building with Classical Revival influences replaced it when it burned down in 1903. The bank had a corner entrance with ornate, swinging doors, flanked by shops on both sides. The second floor had offices and meeting rooms — two of which were rented by the Women’s Improvement Club and used as a community library. The iconic second-story corner tower was once topped with a metal spire.

Upon completion by John Cradwick, the building’s first floor originally housed Winters Bakery and J.L. Harlan’s Phoenix general store. The upper floor was occupied by a saloon, later becoming the Acme Hotel, with 21 sleeping rooms.

CRADWICK BUILDING (1889-90): 17-23

MAIN STREET

The Chulick Market building is just one of two surviving buildings from the initial founding of the city.This two-story brick commercial building has a large meeting room on the second floor. There was originally a common stairway to the Opera House next door. In its form, proportion, and fenestration – the windows are double hung and trimmed with simple moulding – the Chulick Market building originally reflected commercial Italianate style influences. The ground floor of Chulick’s Market was first occupied by the Parker and Wertner Store, a general merchandise and dry goods store. In the early 1920s, it became Winters Meat Market, which was then acquired by the Chulick family in the late 1920s. The family continued in the meat business, as well as selling groceries, until 1978. The second story was used for lodge meetings, dancing and a gymnasium.

A walk through history, around the block.

The second floor of the Opera House has been the center of civic and social events throughout the history of Winters.

WINTERS NATIONAL BANK (1906-1907): 35 MAIN STREET

In terms of image, materials, style and scale, the one-story brick building at 31 Main is a sterling representative of small commercial buildings of the 1920s and 30s. A fixed glass show window, with ceramic tile below, angles into the entrance on the east side of the facade. Patterned tiles pave the entryway, and a clerestory above the doors is set in wood sash. The building has hosted a number of enterprises, including Winters Travel, Winters Center for the Arts and a dental clinic. The vacant lot between the Cradwick Building and this building was the location of Pioneer Stable, one of two livery establishments that, until the 1940s, served as a place to debark the railroad and rent horses, buggies and wagons.

A terracotta medallion with the letters “WNB” for Winters National Bank is mounted in the center of the tiletrimmed and stepped parapet.Twogroupings, of four decorative tiles each, flank the projecting terra cotta cornice and frieze that lies above the ground floor show windows and entry. In 1929, Sacramento contractor Charles Unger, nephew of bank president Frank Wyatt, remodeled the carefullydesigned facade and fitted the interior for banking purposes, removing an archway in the common wall with the adjacent Morrison Building.

The second floor Masonic meeting hall is used in conjunction with space from the second floor of the adjacent and older Masonic Building. The second story was added in 1928 by Joe Matroni under the supervision of Murray Goodyear, a grandson of John Wolfskill.

A projecting brick band separates the first and second floor. The second floor contains two, paired, double-hung windows, a projecting brick cornice and a parapet wall with recessed central panel. It was originally just one floor. The first floor of this building was originally rented, first to Griffiths and Hazelrigg General Merchandise followed by Rumelsburg’s. The name Rummelsburg can still be made out in paint on the upper rear of the building.

CITIZENS BANK (1912): 48 MAIN STREET

The Morrison building was originally constructed to enable Robert Morrison to expand his adjacent businesses next door at 35 Main. Beginning in 1882, Morrison ran a blacksmith, carriagemaking and woodworking shop that expanded in 1889 to include agricultural implements. In 1892, he built 37 Main to house a hardware store, which he operated until selling it in 1906. It was then rented to a succession of hardware and general merchandise stories.

The first floor of the building originally housed Baker Co.’s General Store and then DepartmentGreenwood’sStore.

The two-story, red brick Mason Building showcases Italianate and Classical design in architectural elements like its arched windows. The Main Street facade contains cast iron pilasters, a recessed entry, and two show windows with clerestory windows above and tile work below.

The large, two-story building is a specimen example of Classical Revival design and anchors the southwest end of the downtown historic district. It is the most visually impressive building in Winters.Builton a granite base, this brick structure is surfaced in architectural terra cotta. Fluted Ionic columns support a pedimented entry. A large, arched window with a keystone stands above the entrance, framed with over-scaled molding, cornucopias with fruit, and a cartouche. Over-scaled dentils become brackets beneath the eaves, above the encircling frieze band, a classical architectural element indicative of ancient Greek and Roman architecture.Thebuilding opened as the Citizens Bank of Winters. The building is relatively unaltered, although a balustrade, railing once projecting from the roof, has been removed along First Street.

The upper floor of the Masonic Building was originally used for lodge meetings. The lodge was converted to a kitchen and dining hall in 1928 after a new Masonic Lodge hall was completed next door.

Cook featured decorative cast-iron columns with capitals and some cast-iron grill work in his design. Large show windows, recessed entries, and evenly-spaced clerestory windows adorn the second floor.

BERTHOLET BUILDING (1889): 24-26 MAIN STREET HUMPHREY BUILDING (1889): 28-30 MAIN STREET

Cook was the best known of Winters’ early architects, having designed Folsom Prison. He worked on a footprint of 80 by 120, anchoring the corner of Main and Railroad in a place once occupied by a 72 foot tower. He attempted to design a modern facility “second in convenience to none.” His engineering was remarkable in that the hotel featured gas-lit chandeliers and lamps in common spaces, and lights for each of the 40 secondstory sleeping rooms. It also featured gas jets lighting its Queen Anne-style cupola, which fire destroyed in 1915.

The ground floor lobby and two business rooms featured first floor show windows that were large for the time and originally made of plate glass shipped from Indiana. The first floor business rooms have housed a drug store, real estate office, gentlemen’s furnishings store, hardware store and a grocery and produce store.

A local broker on the grain exchange used the building at one point and the facade still bears the Yolo Traders branding.TheFirst Christian Church, which formed in Buckeye in 1858, reorganized at a windmill behind this building before constructing the church at First and Main streets.

The two-story Bertholet Building reflects the form of commercial Italianate design. It is constructed from rusticated local stone, although the first story has been surfaced with used brick. A stepped parapet projects above the facade of the building. Incised markings in the parapet and below state: “BB 1892” and “B 1889 B.” Benoit Bertholet was a well-known builder and stonecutter, in addition to being a founding father of Winters. He helped build Folsom Prison and the Memorial Arch at Stanford University. B. Bertholet & Sons, his firm, produced the Hercules stone that was used to build the Winters National Bank and Morrison buildings across theBertholet’sstreet. building originally housed a saloon on the ground floor and had a lodging house on the second floor, which became an apartment in 1940. At one point it housed an ice cream parlor run by Al Bertholet.

Architect A.A. Cook of Sacramento reflected Italianate and Queen Anne stylistic influences in his design for the two-story brick commercial Hotel De Vilbiss — today a 19th century image that was, at the time, a statement about the town’s growing agricultural prosperity. It took 10 months to build. John De Vilbiss was an early beneficiary of the fruit business in Winters and invested in the town’s future in agribusiness.
