Appendix 3
Six Rivers Supervisors Offices
1946

350 E Street. Corner of 4th and E streets in the Bank of America building. Six Rivers first occupied rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors. In 1947, the forest was able to lease two additional rooms on the fourth floor (see also TS 4-16-97).2

2All SOs were in Eureka, California. Most of the information on the locations of Six Rivers National Forest Supervisor's Offices was obtained from Vern Hallin (Hallin 5-20-97: pers. comm.).

Third Street, between B and C streets, on the floor above Lenzi's Restaurant. The SO was at this location for about one year. The building has since been demolished and the lot rebuilt upon. Vern Hallin recalled that a band composed of African American musicians played at Lenzi's and often practiced during the days. . . serenading the Six Rivers workers.

23 Fifth St. The SO (left) was located in a converted residence that looked very much like the neighboring building that is today's Kwan's Cafe (right). The building at 23 Fifth Street now has an extension to the sidewalk with a full front. A vault, built for the Six Rivers, is still in place inside the building. Hallin remembers standing behind his desk in this building, having a discussion with Orleans Ranger Charley Yates, when a major earthquake hit and the pavement outside could be seen through the front window, rolling in waves.

Fourth and J streets. This SO was the first built especially for the Six Rivers. In 1998, Humboldt County Probabtion Department, a credit union, and a small market occupy the building. Engineering was on the second floor, in the northerly end of the building, by the stairway.

710 E Street at the corner of 7th and E streets. This building was also expressly made for occupation by the Six Rivers National Forest. The original building did not have the current mansard roof; its entrance was adjacent to the parking lot east of the building.

Before moving from 710 E Street, engineering was located at 605 G Street, on the second floor of today's Wells Fargo Bank.
