Claremont, on the eastern edge of L.A. County, is home to historic architecture along its streets and on the campuses of the Claremont Colleges. It’s a good time for a driving tour of city landmarks while students are home, taking classes online. All those empty parking spots mean you can also explore on foot. A cast-iron clock displays the time for Metrolink passengers at the Claremont Depot. (Myung J.

Thanks to Claremont Heritage, the city’s nonprofit preservation organization, many of the landmarks have been saved from the wrecking ball. For more information, go to
