Research Assistance

Betty Marvin and Gail Lombardi of the City of Oakland’s Cultural Heritage Survey provided helpful research on the original homeowners and provided copies of original subdivision maps. The Survey is a project of the City’s Planning Department, co-sponsored by the Oakland Heritage Alliance and the City’s Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board. The Oakland Public Library’s Oakland History Room, at the Main Library, was also a good source for other research materials.

Special thanks to the homeowners for generously opening their homes for the tour and sharing our enthusiasm and to all the house docents and other volunteers who made the tour possible. Our warm thanks to OHA’s Administrative Director, Esther Hill.
