History

The first civic building in Atascadero, The Printery, had the first rotogravure presses west of Chicago. The building was designated a California Historical Landmark. As investors came to homestead the land that they had bought with their down payments, the area was transformed into a "tent city" with tents situated on land now occupied by Century Plaza and Bank of America. Little evidence of Atascadero's original architecture and urban design remain, as historic buildings and homes have been torn down to make way for more modern developments and the Sunken Gardens bisected by Highway 101. In 1914 the land was surveyed and subdivided.
