    This house is where a Japanese immigrant family lived, and the wikipedia website describes it's significance in testing out the California Alien Land Law of 1913. The court found that the American-born children of the Japanese immigrants had the right to own this house. It is sufficient to read about this house, because you cannot visit it. It is not open to guests or tours. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as being a National Historic Landmark, and is Riverside Landmark #23.

    California v. Jukichi Harada is a pivotal case in California law as well as history. It granted the right to the children of immigrants the ability to own property in the state of California. This monumental case is the one example of the triumph of immigrants. The Harada house is now a part of the Riverside Metropolitan museum as a crucial part of history under the themes of civil rights, immigration, and citizenship amongst other issues.
