| Bailey home in 1887 |
Build in 1860 this is the historical house where Jonathan Bailey moved in 1887. This house was the foundation for the formation of the city of Whittier. When Bailey migrated here from Ohio with other Quakers, this was the house where everybody would meet. Only eight days after the Quakers moved, they had a meeting on the front porch of the ranch. Also since there was no church build, this is where services would be held. Bailey held business, church services, and other activities from his home.
He used his home as a tool to develop the city. Now the house is a historic museum that can be visited by many. The architectural is the same and all the furniture inside is also intact. It is a great place to visit, not only for fun but to learn more about the history of Whittier. The house address is 13421 E. Camilla St., Whittier, CA 90601
