This
social gathering area memorializes early business in
Anaheim, as well as provides amenities for the adjacent
businesses.
The Business Archway was installed to commemorate the
100th anniversary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce
and pays tribute to professional and commercial history
in City. It features historical accounts regarding commercial
activity in 1893. Excerpts from the 1876 Business &
Professional Directory, as well as old business rosters
.The stones café tables (made of indigenous red, black,
and white boulders) reference the light fixtures in
the "East Room" and rest on the "backs" of the stooped
steel figures with outstretched hands. These tables
are designed to be used by café patrons and symbolize
people walking through the business archway from the
past to into the future indicating that we are linked
to our past as we move forward in time.
Referred to as Buster's "West Room". Installation
partially funded by Anaheim Chamber of Commerce
