1946 California homes: The Palo Alto by Architect Morgan Stedman. Plans provided.

 


Can't you just vision an Early California caballero in the garden, and to the accompaniment of his guitar, crooning sweet nothings to his senorita on the balcony? To bring the story up to date, you might well envison hundreds of dollars taking flight to make such a beautiful, hand-made iron railing for this Monterey Colonial home.. 

Well, architects are ingenious people, as Mr. Stedman has proved. The rail is part of an old bridge. When mischievous youth stole part, painted wood was substituted in one section.
