Historic Walk in Piedmont: Centennial Homes

From Victorian cottages to turreted mansions, this leisurely stroll in central Piedmont will focus on the historic heart of the city.  Ann Swift, currently president of the Cameron Stanford house, will draw on her extensive background in Piedmont to share architectural information about early Piedmont as well as stories of the families who moved here after the 1906 Earthquake.  See where Frank Havens lived when he moved to Piedmont, visit the sea captain's house with a tragic past, and learn why there is a Duck House in Piedmont.

The walk is free and copies of the book Cottages and Castles will be available for purchase.  Please call Mary Ann Benson (510-595-4015) to reserve a space.
