Moreton Bay Fig Tree 

Plaza Park corner of Santa Clara & Chestnut Streets 

Planted in 1874, this giant tree provided shade for band concerts, political rallies, and war bond drives during WWII. The park was laid out in 1866 and re-landscaped several times over the years. Directly south of the park, on Thompson Blvd., stands the Historic Mitchell Block of eight homes representing a number of architectural styles from Victorian to Craftsman.
