Western Drive in Point Richmond boasts homes by a veritable who’s who of Bay Region mid-century design. Not only is it the place where Walter Brooks built the highly inventive residence in which he has lived for many years, but it also can claim structures by Rudolph Schindler, William Wurster, and John Funk, just to name a very few. The home we feature today is yet another beautifully preserved period structure to add to the list. It was designed by the talented local partnership of Lyman Jee and Jack Anderson fairly early in their career together. Even so, the design is a mature expression of the local vernacular, and with so much original fabric intact it is a rare treat indeed.
- Edificionado is an Oakland-based real estate brokerage specializing in architecturally and historically significant homes. The listings we feature here are those that have recently caught our eye due to their provenance or exceptional state of preservation. We select them without regard to size, price, or location and in general we are not the listing broker, so we have no stake in their being posted here. As we are based in Oakland, most of the homes will be in the East Bay, though we may throw one in from elsewhere in the Bay Area from time to time. If you would like to visit any of these homes, or receive a personalized list of properties more tailored to your specific requirements and tastes please contact Christian Olson at colson@edificionado.com or at 510 686 3343.

Joan, Good to hear from you and noted you are also a fan of this website.
hi, I recently purchased the lovely house at 348, and found a treasure trove of plans and a design “manifesto” written by the original owner (who lived thee for 62 years!). It is a truly remarkable house
