When my family came to 20th and Fremont, from Buena Park CA. I thought I had been dropped into the Garden of Eden (until I was dropped into first grade at Madeleine Grade school!! hell!) I used to go along the back properties of the Ridge as described above, between 21st up to Deadmans hill. I called it the Forest of Fairy Land. Broken bits of bottles were the jewels and the rays of light through the thick trees and morning glory were full of fairy dust in my 6 year old mind..

Birkameier was an amazing and fastidious builder. Only the wealthiest could afford to buy or commission his work………….. Any home he built, is and was, a precious jewel set amongst many other wonderful homes.

You must be a writer of sorts. I grew up, partially, in Alameda in two locations. 1st home 3524 NE 20th (1960-1967). two homes north on 20th and Fremont. Facing west and later 3535 NE 29th (1967-1972), one block North of Fremont on the corner lot facing East. I am the biggest of suckers for Nostalgia and your narrative of the area makes me want to cry with what I just KNEW in my heart was there. I could FEEL the older years, while I rode my 1965 Schwinn white with pink detailed cruiser bicycle all over, hill and dale with the wind in my hair and an imagination that matched your description of my beloved Alameda. OH YES it would be beyond cool to own a farm at 27th and Fremont, or a deep dark woods on 33rd full of Owls……………It will surely be what my Heaven will look like….

We were the 3rd owners and it was on the NW corner of 29th street and Ridgewood, where Edgehill met 29th street and followed up to Regents Avenue. Our Title was in the Name of Robert Page Mccallum and Jeanne Gledhill McCallum. Can you provide me with the original History on that Construction? I believe it was a Berkameier Build, but I am not sure that is chiseled in stone

Barnes was the original owner of the house at 3533 NE Klickitat St. He handpicked most every piece of lumber that went into that house. It was a wonderful warm home that welcomed the many family members and guests.
