Earthquake March 29 No, not a prediction. A booking for the comedian "Earthquake" at the Fox Theater in downtown Bakersfield, California. We began our Death Valley trip in Bakersfield. We traveled here by the Amtrak "San Joaquin" and rented a vehicle to drive on to the Park.

Oildale (Bakersfield) Standard School Auditorium (# 2439) I almost missed this building. I was headed out of Bakersfield, going through the Oildale area which is mainly older single-story businesses and residences, when I happened to notice this building that was quite elegant for the area. Turning around and coming back, not only was I amazed by the architecture, but also what seemed to be an odd name: “Standard School Auditorium.” It was very hard to find information on this, particularly since I’m in the city of Bakersfield and used that in searching. The auditorium was built in 1937 with Public Works Administration funds and is still in use. Oildale was once a separate unincorporated area just north of Bakersfield, and apparently the school district is named Standard School District because Standard Oil donated the land for the first school of the district.

Oildale (Bakersfield) Standard School Auditorium gargoyle? (# 2440) A little more detail of the figures on the top of the building (see adjacent picture). They’re not quite gargoyles, but I couldn’t think of a better word since they look rather frightening. If you zoom in, you can see that they seem to have their hands on globes.
KCM / honoring (belatedly) Native populations (# 2435) Oh, we forgot.... there were people living here before the European settlers. <u><a href="https://kernarts.org/event/kern-county-museum-dedicates-owtsan-house/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Owtsan House</a></u> was dedicated this year (2023) to honor the history of the Native populations that lived in the area for thousands of years before the occupation by Mexicans and then Americans. <i>Use the Kern County Museum (KCM) tag to see all of the photographs from the museum.</i>
KCM / Chevron handmade redwood pump (# 2432) A handmade <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=26118" rel="noreferrer nofollow">redwood pumping unit</a></u> made in 1979 for the museum by Chevron to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Standard Oil of California. Per the webpage it was salvaged from a pump that was still in use in the 1920’s. <i>Use the Kern County Museum (KCM) tag to see all of the photographs from the museum.</i>
KCM / historic clock tower (# 2436) At the entrance to the museum, a reconstruction of an historic <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=170346" rel="noreferrer nofollow">clock tower</a></u> that stood in downtown Bakersfield. The original clock tower, dedicated in 1904, was extensively damaged by the 1952 Kern County earthquake and aftershocks. This replica includes the original clock work, bell, iron stairway, railings and grill work. The 1952 <u><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1952_Kern_County_earthquake" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Kern County earthquake</a></u> which destroyed the tower, measured 7.3 and had many large (5+ on the scale) aftershocks that severely damaged Tehachapi, downtown Bakersfield, and multiple other small towns. <i>Use the Kern County Museum (KCM) tag to see all of the photographs from the museum.</i>
