Midtown:
Listed Name... Cranston-Geary House George Sellon was California's first State Architect and also the designer for San Quentin, so there you go. If you are a fan of the Craftsman style bungalow, do check out the excellent (and local) blog Hewn & Hammered.
........................................................................ Listed Name... Winters House
........................................................................ Name... Jeffery Building
....................................................................... Name... Unknown What caught my interest in this house on 22nd Street was the archive photo. It shows the cast of a play called "Between The Acts" (Front: George Clark, Kitty Waldau (Mrs. Waldau - mother of Retha, Evelyn, and Edith) Center: Evelyn Waldau, J. Himan, Edith Waldau. Back: John Klees, David L. Joslyn.) sitting on the steps of this lovely Victorian house. D.L. Joslyn worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad at the time, so I wonder if this is a community theatre production and if so, at which theatre? It's also interesting to note that the house is currently getting an overhaul of the outside. From comparing the old picture with the new, you can see that a lot of the period detailing (gingerbread) has been lost over the years. ....................................................................... Name... Mason House I'm calling this the Mason house as it was the home of the proprietors of Mason's Steam Laundry (21st and O St. circa 1904). The building is quite striking as you drive by on 21st but there is also a very strange relationship between the house and the palm trees. For me, it doesn't quite work. But you have to love the cupola…
