Historic Etiwanda.
A bit of history, following the death of his father, George built the structure presently known as the Chaffey-Isle house near his own dwelling. Annie and Emma, George's mother and sister, were to live in this home until the family eventually moved to Australia. The house was also wired for electricity. With the assistance of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and CalTrans, the house was moved to Etiwanda Avenue in 2003. The society is presently working on the restoration of the Chaffey-Isle House. Its current state is in much need of repairs specifically its exterior porch and landscaping. Any amount is welcomed. Please consider donating today!
