I am nominating the McCharles House for the Old Town Tustin Commendation program
for the following reasons:
• Pride of Ownership-The Heredia's have demonstrated pride of ownership since
they purchased the property in 1978. Vivian personally cares for the gardens at
the McCharles House and took the necessary steps to preserve the historic
eucalyptus trees in front of the property. Saving these trees adds to the historic
streetscape that once was very common in Old Town Tustin.
• Recent Improvements-An addition was made to the original McCharles House.
The Heredia's made every effort to insure that the new structure complemented
the historic structure. They had the siding milled to match the original structure
and custom wood. windows were installed to insure the new structure did not take
away from the historic integrity of the McCharles House.
Tustin is very privileged to have business owners like the Heredia's. They take pride
in their business, the historic McCharles House and in Old Town Tustin.
