Historic Sweeten Hall is located at: 9324 San Bernardino Road Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 Sweeten Hall resides on the very site of the first school house in the Cucamonga township, which was built around 1890. In 1915, the Central School District was formed.... The new school--which would eventually become Sweeten Hall--was constructed between 1915 and 1917 on San Bernardino Road and Hellman Avenue after the old school was demolished. By 1913, the developing downtown of Cucamonga had a bakery, a billiards room, a bank, post office, and two wagon repair shops. The school played an important role in the township development in the 1920's and 1930's. The school had a baseball diamond in the back, and there the first little league in the area was formed. In the 1920's the first Boy Scout troop met at the school. It was a meeting place for the Cucamonga-Alta Loma Women's Club. The Cucamonga Service Club also met there. In the late 1960s, Sweeten Hall became a community hall, thanks to Mr. Sweeten who purchased the building from the school district. The Cucamonga School District built a new school. The two clubs ran the hall and the service club bought out the women's club In 1985. The building is an unaltered school that has survived. The structure is Mission Revival Style. Sweeten Hall was made a historical landmark in 1992 by the Rancho Cucamonga planning department. The Cucamonga Service Club is still active and is the keeper of this building.
