Buildings in Old Town

Wiring buildings that are over 100 years old

Old Town's historic core grew up along Front Street and Main Street. Visit Temecula Valley lists landmarks like the Welty Building from the 1890s, Hotel Temecula from 1891 and the 1914 bank building. The Temecula Valley Historical Society notes the Bank of Temecula at Main and Front was built with 18-inch cement walls.

Walls like that are hard to fish wire through. Electricians often use surface raceway, run circuits through ceilings or attics, or route conduit where it will not change the look of a historic facade. California also has a Historical Building Code (Title 24, Part 8) that can allow alternatives for qualified historic buildings, decided with the building official.

Routing power around a thick masonry wall A thick historic wall blocks a hidden wire path, so power is routed up through the ceiling and down in a surface raceway to the new outlet. Panel18 in wallNew outletRoute through ceiling
When a wall cannot be opened, power goes around it: through the ceiling, then down in a neat surface raceway.
