Using the research and information provided by the Victorian Alliance of San Francisco and the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Assoc. we'll take two hour walks to see and learn about the following:
The Victorian houses of San Francisco and:
- The evolution of Berkeley architecture from 1900 to 1950.
- The work of Bernard Maybeck.
- The work of Julia Morgan.
- The work of John Hudson Thomas.
- Developer John Hopkins Spring and Landscape Engineer Mark Daniels.
- The most modern and most historic neighborhood, West Berkeley.
- Along the fire line, we'll trace part of the path of the 1923 North Berkeley Hills firestorm.
- A 110 year old, mostly intact central Berkeley neighborhood of arts and crafts style houses.
- Crossing the line between Albany and Berkeley and the architectural result.
- I also lead glorious hikes in, on and around Mt. Tamalpais.
