Is there a corner or room of your house that needs something truly unique and memorable? You'll find exactly that and more when you visit The Gas Pump in Riverside. Even though this shop's tag line offers “Everything for the game room,” these items will make any part of your home feel playful and fun. The Gas Pump features an incredible array of vintage items that include classic signs, jukeboxes, Coke machines, gumball machines, barber items, furniture, and, yes, even vintage gas pumps and service station items!
The Riverside Heritage House is a place where the area's history and agricultural significance are celebrated in a most dramatic way. The house itself is an impressive example of 19th century Victorian style, an architectural design that was popular with homes of the period. The home stands on 1.3 acres of citrus groves, and this historical attraction is meant to represent the significance and contributions of orange growers during the Golden Age of citrus horticulture.
