Jukichi Harada emigrated from Japan during the early 1900’s. He purchased this house in 1915 and placed ownership of the house in the hands of his three minor children, who were natural-born United States citizens. This was because immigrants from Japan were prevented from owning property by the California Alien Land Law of 1913. After the purchase, neighboring property owners attempted to drive the Haradas out, without success. State authorities then filed suit against the children to bring it into state ownership in 1916. In 1918, Superior Court Judge Hugh Craig upheld the right of the children to own the house. During World War II, the Haradas were sent to Japanese internment camps, where both Jukichi Harada and his wife died. During their internment, a Caucasian friend of the family occupied the house, and the family was able to retain ownership. In the years after the war, Sumi Harada, one of the three children, took over the house and boarded other Japanese families who had lost their homes during their internment. The house became a City of Riverside Landmark in 1977 and a National Historic Landmark in 1990. In 2004 the house was given to the Riverside Metropolitan Museum. In 2020 it was nominated as a California Historic Landmark.
This is cool because its historic and unexpected.
Cool i live 2 houses down:D
This place is a cool find that one doesn't expect to find. Walking the neighborhood, I was grateful to have come across this historic home that I discovered is part of the national registry of historical places. The place I'd under a complete restoration but I was excited to learn that this home was the first home purchased by a noncitizen if the United States. Very awesome to have this home in our city. It should be celebrated!
The story behind the house is fascinating. The fences keeps people off the property, which is a shame since there's no way to see what the rest of it looks like.
