THIS OLD ENGLISH type home, designed for the R. W. Schumackers, of Oakland, California, is oriented to obtain morning sun for the breakfast room and kitchen, and afternoon sun for the livin-groom. In the breakfast room and the kitchen there are large corner windows that open these rooms to the outdoor vista. In the living-room is a large view-window and also a recessed bay. From the reception hall there's direct access to the living-room, kitchen, den, and bedroom hall; and direct access, too, to the outdoors from the den. There's a built-in bookcase in the fireplace wall of the living-room. Opposite, shuttered doors open to the dining-room. Outside, the roof is of inch-thick cedar shakes, and the walls a combination of stucco, clinker brick, and timberwork. The home was designed by Architect Chester H. Treichel; built by Clarence H. Thrams.
