Fullerton’s population doubled from 4,415 in 1920 to 10,860 by 1930. This prompted a building boom with iconic new buildings being built, such as the Fox Theater (1925), the California Hotel (1922), the Chapman Building (1923) and the Masonic Temple (1920). New housing subdivisions were being built, most of which had racially restrictive housing covenants that prevented non-whites from purchasing or renting property in them.
