Fireplaces and other fun stuff from the Fernwood Storybook Home Tour

Michael Greenslade (Prudential California Realty) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:14:23 -0500

Thanks to the Oakland Heritage Alliance, I had a great time on Sunday October 4th. This was the day that the Oakland Heritage Alliance and the Fernwood Club opened up the doors to nine homes in the historic Fernwood neighborhood in Oakland's Montclair District.

Being the architectural geek that I am I was noticing the houses that could be the work of William Raymond Yelland, who happens to be my favorite architect. I noticed four houses that could be his handiwork. Each of the homes was a different style architecturally but fit very well within his body of works.

The first house on the tour was a mission revival Spanish styled home. It had brick arched chimney toppers and a shed roof over the garage. The interior space had some of Yelland's signature hyperbolic arches between rooms and just for effect, like on the staircase landing.

The second house was a New England style home complete with the white clapboard siding. The guidebook mentions that the original owners found the plans in a magazine article entitled "a little cottage out west". The guide book assumed that the round oval window was something that was done by the architect that adapted the plans. (to be added when I look it up again). Having studied Mr Yelland for all these years I was familiar with his farmhouses in Clarksburg and Diablo that have the same style complete with breezeway connecting to the garage. In the guide book it mentions the Normandy touches to the garage, well that makes too much sense for Yelland. The fireplace from the inside is a clinkerbrick masterpiece including two candle niches, one on each side. I am also familiar with Yelland's Endwell New York United Methodist Churchwhich has those same oval windows. So many people are nay sayers and only know the Normandy Village style of Yelland, He did all sorts of properties, including this New England style.

The New England Style home in the Fernwood neighborhood

The third home was the stop over for snacks and beverages on the tour. I did not take any photographs of this home. I had a wonderful conversation with the owners. This home reminds me of the large Judge Bruner tudor in San Leandro, where my friend Liz used to live in during my High School days. The Bruner house is rumored to be a Yelland, waiting for my friend's confirmation. Anyway, in my conversations with the owners, I was invited in. I saw all the features of the designs I have become so accustomed to seeing. The living room was an almost duplicate of the 802 Cherry house in Hayward. If you recall that house was the mirror image of my parent's "Derry Residence". The main difference is the Derry Home has a barrel vault textured ceiling and the 802 Cherry house has the large beamed ceiling, just almost identical to this house here in Montclair's Fernwood.

The fourth home was just incredible, I don't know where to begin. Let's start at the garage at the street, this little building is so very storybook and so very Yelland. It reminds me of the old buildings that were up in the Kensington Neighborhood center (Burned and Razed). It has a little bricked in niche off the left hand side of the building in a little garden wall jutting out into the garden.

The garage of the storybook home. That brick niche is so very cool.

Then you go down some steps and then over a little bridge over Temescal Creek to the main house itself. The home is a large Tudor with all the artificial aging elements that makes a storybook home.

the wonderfull storybook style home in the Fernwood neighborhood

The interior of the house really gets me excited. The interior is very similar to the Hildreth Residence done in Piedmont Pines. All the classic Yelland interior features are there. This time the Rosetta Stone for me. A cast concrete fire place! Homes in my San Leandro "The Broadmoor" neighborhood also have cast concrete fireplaces like this. I realize that many builders ordered these out of catalogs. Here we have an example of what could possibly be Yelland choosing these for his designs.

The cast concrete fireplace in the Fernwood neigborhood

The below picture is my fireplace from my home (excuse the messy mantle). As you can see these fireplaces are cousins and possibly from the same company. Mine is slightly smaller and does not have a shield in the center.

The cast concrete fireplace at my home

oh what fun I had.

One of these days, I will get my San Leandro neighborhood it's Yelland Credentials it deserves. The Broadmoor and Estudillo Estates is a virtual cornucopia of Yelland designs.

More puzzle houses found on San Leandro's Superior (updated)

Michael Greenslade (Prudential California Realty) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:15:11 -0500

Having seen the three homes on San Leandro's Superior Avenue that create the elevation for the home on Hayward's Prospect Avenue home.

illustration #1

537, 527 and 521 as they are on San Leandro's Superior Avenue

illustration #2

As photographed the same three houses as diagrammed above

illustration #3

537, 527 and 521 as they would be combined together.

illustration #4

The above combination is then mirror imaged and then you get "The house on Prospect" in Hayward. illustration #5

As photographed, the house diagrammed in illustration #4

Recently,

I've noticed that two homes on Superior Avenue when joined together also create a common variation to the storybook style architecture theme. The home in this puzzle features a shed dormer style roof over the window of the second house. Most commonly a front facing gable replaces that shed roof.

573 and 565 Superior as they are located in San Leandro

illustration #8

The puzzle house combined here would result in the following look

Homes like this are common to El Cerrito, San Pablo, Kensington, Berkeley and Clarksburg California. Another example of this style is the Oakland Public Library in the Montclair District (shown below).

illustration #9 The Montclair Library

This type of house always has a catslide roof off to one side and a wing coming off of that. On the wing coming off the catslide their is usually a dormer facing the same direction as the main catslide gable.

Another Puzzle home.

Another home located in San Leandro's unincorporated Ashland Distrcit located on 170th is a combination of 537 (Mayor/builder Earl Derry's House) and a home on the 700 block of Bridge Road (Tom Derry's House). Google map both Bridge Road and 170th Avenue.

illustration #10

Above is the Tom Derry House.

When it's combined with the familiar image of the catslide version representing Earl Derry's House you get the house below located on 170th.

illustration #11

The puzzle house located on 170th in San Leandro's unicorporated Ashland District.

Thanks to Bing.com I found another Yelland home

Michael Greenslade (Prudential California Realty) — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:14:38 -0500

I tried out the new Microsoft Bing.com search engine and searched for my favorite research topic and found this link.

http://www.morethanacarpenter.com/case_studies_addition_04.html

It shows a Yelland designed 1926 storybook style home. Very nice! It just reinforces my feelings about the masterwork of Yelland in this style.

Take a look.

Anatomy of a roof: Has anyone ever heard of painted roofing shingles?

Michael Greenslade (Prudential California Realty) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 23:34:05 -0500

My mother is having her roof redone.

This is the same house that my Grandmother purchased from the builder developer / mayor of San Leandro Earl Derry. It was Earl Derry's very own home until 1946 when Grandma purchased it.

My father grew up in this house. I grew up in this house.

I did the same thing to my house a few years ago. You can see it in the picture above. Mom's house is the one with the old roof being peeled away. My house is the brown house with the brown singles two houses to the right.

In my restoration of the house I made a mistake on the roof color. When looking up from within the attic, I would assume that the orignal roofing layer was cedar or redwood shingles. When the layers of my old roof came off I noticed I had it all completely wrong. The roof color was a hunter green painted shingle.

So It got me to wondering were the other homes in Derry, Weaver & Derry's Cherry City Tract in San Leandro also hiding painted colored shingles.

Back to my mom's house pictured above, I remember when I was a kid, seeing the red asphalt shingles that my grandmother must have had installed. My parents added the oversized brown/tan shingles in the 1970s.

Well with modern codes, and this being the fourth roof, the old existing three layers had to come off, there they were.....RED painted shingles. It would make perfect sense to have that red roof. The red brick walkway and front entry porch. The red bricks around the large front window. Even red bricks on the banding of the driveway as seen in the picture below. I remember there being red fabric awnings on the side breakfast nook windows too, A red roof makes perfect sense.

The picture above shows the history of the roof. From the right to the left, The original wood shingles painted red. In the middle are the "coral red" shingles that my grandmother must have put on in the 1950s. To the far left are the oversized brown tan shingles that my parents added in the 1970s.

So my question is, have any of you ever come across anything like this before? Is painted shingles really a rare thing?

The new roof, A 40 year landmark architectural series "resawn shake" brown/tan mix asphalt.

Hugh Ferris: An American architect who helped to create the modern metropolis

Michael Greenslade (Prudential California Realty) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:58:55 -0500

I was on a road trip with my father in California's Gold Country when we stopped in at this old book store. My dad had special ordered a "Motor Boys" book, a favorite from his childhood. He wanted to create entire sets for each of his three sons. Since his passing last year, I cherish his ambition to share this with us.

But, I digress from the original intent of today's blog. It was in that book store that I found a copy of Hugh Ferriss: Metropolis of Tomorrow

What a great book this is for any fan of architecture. Hugh Ferris never actually designed a single building but was a "delineator" or someone who does renderings.

Some if my favorite renderings were a suspension bridge that was all apartments towering over the river. Another was a roof top garden with classical Roman or Greek columns and pediments (Much like the modern day towers on Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas)

I highly recommend, if you don't already know about Hugh Ferriss, take a look at the links provided. You just may become a fan of this architect.

Many architects have credited Hugh Ferriss as being an inspiration for their work.

Below is a link to Amazon.com where you can purchase your own copy of this book. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw_1_6?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=hugh+ferriss&sprefix=hugh+F

North Side San Leandro Ranch style homes, could be by Irwin Johnson

Michael Greenslade (Prudential California Realty) — Fri, 29 May 2009 11:14:02 -0500

In my research into my San Leandro developer/mayor Earl Derry ( Derry, Weaver & Derry / Derry Bros.) I have discovered that in several tracts they constructed that they have used architect Irwin Johnson. It appears that Johnson was the architect who did most of their ranch house designs.

I think that the relationship between Derry and Johnson began with the "Broadmoor Park" tract. This tract was started off in the late 1920s by developer EB Fields and sold off to the Derrys for completion.

As you may know Irwin Johnson and EB Fields collaborated hugely on Sheffield village. I have found evidence of Johnson and Derry in the "Lealand Heights", "New Broadmoor" and "Broadmoor Park" all by Derry, Weaver & Derry or Derry Brothers.

Lealand Heights: Parker, Sandelin, Norene, Rantoul, Graff, East Juana
New Broadmoor: Superior Avenue (new), Dutton, Glen, Oakes and Begier.
Broadmoor Park: Lee, Arbor, Glen, Oakes, Begier, Pala and Haas.

The Broadmoor Constructed in... Class of 1942

Michael Greenslade (Prudential California Realty) — Thu, 21 May 2009 16:42:49 -0500

Dec 7, 1941 and the outbreak of World War II surely had an impact on development on The Broadmoor. Below is the listing of homes built in The Broadmoor for the year of 1942.

With home owners and construction works going off to war, work on the area homes came to an almost standstill.

One street was the exception to this rule and that would be Georgia Way off of East 14th Street.

Open House this Saturday

Michael Greenslade (Prudential California Realty) — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:37:02 -0500

Hello blog readers,

This Saturday, May 23rd, I will be hosting an open house in the Lealand Heights area of San Leandro's Bay-o-Vista.

The home is a probate sale priced at $450,000.00. I will be holding it open for Ernest, a Realtor in my Prudential California Realty office.

I asked Ernest if I can hold this open, because I love this neighborhood. I'd really like to sell you one of these Lealand Heights homes.

Lealand Heights was built in the late 1930s and early 1940's by the Derry Bros. Co. Homes by the Derry Brothers will be very well built and with lots of charm and character. This home that I will be holding open as described by Ernest in the MLS

"Large, spacious older home with lots of original charm. Terrific bay views. Two fireplaces. Two bedrooms upstairs, one downstairs. Needs upgrades, and cosmetic work. It's a nice house in a nice area"

Stop on by and say hello
