This vintage postcard from the 1930's shows the east side of the 300 block
of Main Street. Near the center of the photograph are palm tress in
Watsonville City Plaza and beyond the palms stands the
Lettunich Building.
The west side of the 300 block was heavily damaged by the Loma Prieta
earthquake in 1989. Most of the buildings were either destroyed by the earthquake
or razed because of structural damage. Among the buildings lost were the Stoesser Block
and Annex.
The Fox Theater was damaged by the earthquake. It was repaired with some
modifications including relocation of the entrance from Main Street to Maple Street
around the corner.
