Our community is rallying to support a local businesswoman and mother who needs our help. Julie has been working tirelessly to save her historic building, a beautiful 20,410 square foot landmark built in 1906, from foreclosure. Located in the heart of Downtown Red Bluff, this building holds significant architectural and historical value. It’s not just a building—it’s a beacon of our local charm and history, and it’s where Julie and her family call home.
Here's why it's crucial to save this building:
• Rich History: The building, with its unique architecture and high ceilings, has served various purposes over the decades—from a jewelry store to a hotel. It’s a testament to Red Bluff’s vibrant past.
• Community Hub: It’s strategically located across from the post office and just a block from Main Street, making it a central spot for locals and visitors alike.
• Economic Impact: Julie has transformed this building into a vital part of the community with vacation rentals, commercial spaces, and a retail store. Saving it means preserving jobs and providing more opportunities for local businesses.
• Personal Struggle: Julie and her eight children have faced immense challenges, including domestic violence and financial hardships. Despite these obstacles, she remains dedicated to improving the building and supporting her family.
• How You Can Help: Julie needs to raise $60,000 by August 15 to prevent foreclosure. Any amount you can contribute will make a difference. As a token of gratitude,Julie offers future stays or discounts based on your donation.
