About this listen

This week on the Kern County Real Estate Review, we’re joined by architect Daniel Cater of Cater Design Group to discuss the ambitious restoration of one of Bakersfield’s most iconic buildings — the historic Woolworth’s on 19th Street. From sourcing original 1940s materials to deconstructing and rebuilding the last standing Woolworth’s lunch counter in the country, Daniel walks us through the vision, process, and purpose behind this project. We also explore what this renovation means for the future of downtown Bakersfield and the broader role of historic preservation in community development.
