"A house is a blank slate, a canvas, a container, on which a whole painting is made, a story is told, and a history written," writes Steve Gorman. Continuing the exploration of this Alameda Treasure, Gorman examines the history of Girls Inc., the current beloved residents of The Greenleaf House. https://alamedapost.com/history/todays-alameda-treasure-1724-santa-clara-avenue-greenleaf-house-part-4/

"What makes the Greenleaf House special to me is that there is no other house quite like it in Alameda; it is delightfully unique," writes Steve Gorman about this Alameda Treasure.

Steve Gorman continues his deep dive on 1528 Mozart Street with a look at the history of ownership. "Maybe it’s because people are interesting, and so is architecture and style," writes Steve.

"When you take possession of a storied property like this... you are more than just an owner," writes Steve Gorman. "You are a caretaker, a steward, a keeper of the flame, who will take your place in a long lineage that started in the 19th century and will hopefully extend far beyond the 21st." https://alamedapost.com/history/todays-alameda-treasure-1528-mozart-street-part-3/
