Alameda is across an estuary from Oakland. On June 18, 1966, EBRPD opened Lake Chabot Regional Park to the public after securing an agreement with the East Bay Municipal Utilities District (EBMUD), which owns and operates the reservoir.Īlameda has a large number of Victorians, with impressive ones popping up on this site from time to time. So I thought some information about Alameda might be of interest. Legislation passed in the 1960s opened the lake for controlled recreational uses. The 315-acre lake was closed to recreation for 91 years. Lake Chabot Reservoir was built in 1874-75 as a primary source of water for the East Bay. ![]() So I took it home, Goldenrod lover that I am, and installed it to point to an expanse of my Goldenrods.Īnd that is as close as I will ever come to living in a Regional Park. The replaced marker had been left to lie on the ground nearby. One of the trail markers had rotten at the base and been replaced. There’s a trail in the adjacent Anthony Chabot Regional Park called Goldenrod Trail. The thought of living in any of the Regional Parks is a personal dream. That’s not city land surrounding it, it’s Lake Chabot Regional Park, one of the East Bay Regional Parks and a beautiful place to hike and/or enjoy the lake. “Then it’s surrounded by another 90 acres of city-owned land, so it’s almost like the property has 100 acres of its own private, secluded space around it.” “It’s pretty impressive,” Walsh says of the view, “going down to San Jose, and almost up to Marin, which is pretty darn unheard of up in Oakland.

Have a super weekend! Thanks for your shares, chit-chats and all the things not mentioned. Did I read “…air ship…” right? I feel stupid about the illustration.

Sorry, I probably have these out of order.ġ897 article part 1, PDF (shows Mr. I’ll share it below because it was interesting. When researching the Taylor House, I found multiple articles, including illustrations of various Greenwood, SC homes from 1897. The Taylor House was torn down in the 1960s to make way for a senior living center. I believe that’s the Taylor House, not the Simmons House, as given. In that video is another shot of the pictured home (around the 43min mark.) There’s an excellent YT video about the flood from the Lawrence County Museum of History: This photo is from a 1913 flood that devastated multiple towns. Whoa! Crazy how the flood home stayed mostly intact despite being turned sideways. Surely someone could track down the city/state. Happy Friday! Today’s featured home is similar to how mine was.
