Six Rivers Supervisors Offices

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.
