2008 Home Tour Photos

This home was constructed at 1001 Arlington Way in 1933. There are Cape Cod revival features to the home though the front-facing, steeply-pitched gable and the rounded doorway are English Cottage features. The owners are Lucy and Roland Williams.

This home is the epitome of the Tudor Revival style which peaked in popularity during the 1920's but continued to be built until World War II. This fine example was built in 1935 at 1700 Pine Street. The owner is Linda Barela.

This Victorian home was constructed in 1900, the year before Queen Victoria herself died. It is located at 305 Ward Street. Today the owners are Kim and Dan Scott.

The Arts and Crafts movement which began in the 1880's and continued into the 1920's was the inspiration for the design of this home. It was built in 1922. The owners are Alison Steiner and Jan-Pieter Baaten.

Architect John Hudson Thomas, whose office was in Berkeley, designed this house in 1937. Conversant in several different styles which can be seen in the interior of the house, he chose a mission revival exterior of white stucco and red clay roof tile. Today's owners of this West Green Street home are Joe H. Felice and Karen M. Louis.

Here we have an "historic house of the future" at 627 Teresa Street. This is a newly built "green" home which was GreenPoint Rated by the non-profit organization Build It Green whose mission is "to promote healthy, energy and resource efficient buildings in California." This was a "bonus home" on the historic home tour and is owned by Metz & Blackline Construction.

Research is underway to determine if this house at 1802 Pine Street was designed by noted architect Walter W. Dixon. The house contains many elements of a Storybook Style home -- a fanciful and picturesque school of design related to the English Cottage and Tudor Revival Styles. All were popular in the 1920's. This particular home was constructed in 1928. The present-day owners are Alan and Katherine Hern.
