Eureka by Louis Barak in Downtown Santa Ana. This mural pays tribute to Orange County’s long Jewish history. Nathan Fainbarg, originally a cobbler and bootmaker from Belarus, established a shoe store called Eureka at 315 E. 4th Street in Santa Ana during the 1920s. Nathan’s son, Alan, would later become a prominent businessman in Orange County, describing his childhood as a vibrant blend of cowboy shenanigans, orange groves, and boundless opportunity—allowing him to grow a modest investment into 24 successful stores by the 1980s. The mural features Nathan and his wife Rose, and overlooks the stretch of E. 4th St. that their family helped build.
